Japanglish Fantasy League Vocabulary #3

J-Kaiwa - n. 1). A Japanese language conversation class, where you learn the passive verb form, and that your Japanese will never be as good as that of a 19-year-old Malaysian immigrant worker.
2). The serpent of English education swallowing its own tail.
3). What you will blow off for karaoke.

Why we need this word: Because if you corrupt your English with words like this, it covers up the fact that your Japanese is not getting any better. Because you are too lazy to say "Japanese language conversation class."

Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die



And it WOULD be fun. For me. But what's not so much fun is losing your job for saying "mother effer" in front of a bunch of elementary school kids.

I can actually be quite professional when I'm not on the IIIIINEEEERRRNEEEETTT.
