Why we need this word: We don't particularly need this word, but it is fun to say. What's more, this linguistic corruption often gets a laugh out of native speakers too.

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.
See also: Eikaiwa, Washed-Up Japanese Major, Ouroboros
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."

Yeah, so there are actually a bunch of comics I did recently that kind of...didn't work. So I'm going to post them all at once.
"Hiroshima Memorial Firework Festival"
Gaijin Card. Funnyish, but too similar to this comic.
Power-oke. When we do karaoke, we fucking DO IT.
This actually works, but...
So does this. There is nothing funnier than watching the little prematurely sullen bastards lighting up like a room full of Christmas trees.
But not for a spell-check. Or for teaching children not to stick their fingers up peoples butts.
