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.

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, Šá‹¾‚Á–º–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“¹–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! :woot:

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.
