I've been watching Densha Otoko (my first japanese drama) and they seem to use the word/phrase "mo-e" (sometimes with more 'e') alot.
Does anyone know what this means?
Thanks!


Please check to see if there is an existing thread that you can post on before creating a new one.

"Moe" is a slang phrase that is relatively new, and doesn't really have an English equivalent. I'd think something like, "sweet!" would work, although not for all situations.

HTH,

Wikipedia wrote:

Moé (�G�� pronounced mo-EH, literally 'budding', as with a plant) is a Japanese slang word originally referring to fetish for or love for female characters in video games or anime and manga. For example, �ዾ�����G��, meganekko-moe, "glasses-girl moé", describes a person who is attracted to fictional characters with glasses. Since then, the term has come to be used as a general term for a hobby, mania or fetish (non-sexual) – �S���G��, tetsudou-moe, "train moe", is simply a passionate interest in trains. A moekko is a character who could be considered stereotypically moe.

Found it! w00t!

Kaba Kick is Russian roulette for kids. The player points the gun at his or her own head and pulls the trigger. Instead of bullets, a pair of feet kick out from the barrel (which is shaped like a pink hippo). If the gun doesn't fire, the player earns points.
