LOLz this is like going to Japan and seeing Engrish translations or girls wearing SLUT printed on their t-shirts.

The DOT built a new streetcar line and named it the South Lake Union Trolley. When someone screen printed a bunch of shirts with the acronym, the city council quickly named it something else. I don't remember what it is now because it's unmemorable. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/49/7b/aa/4...attle-area.jpg |

Someone else did catch it and printed the shirts privately.
Much egg on faces in city hall. |

What about "diarrhea"
|
It means an under aged female doing a prostitution act to an adult male.
No, I'm not joking. I'm serious. https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E6%8F%B4%E4%BA%A4 EDIT, here is the Google translate: A word that refers to women, especially underage students, to associate with adult men for financial purposes. Many cases are almost synonymous with prostitution, accompanied by sexual negotiations. |
LOL so what is the word for "Halo'? I've seen that as Enkou also.
This name is getting better all the time! |

Meaning of Kanji for "円光" is "Circle Light". Meaning of Kanji for "援交" is "Supporting Relationship". But actually, I think there isn't any Japanese word that completely means "Halo". "円光" is a bright ring above angel's head. "Halo" also translates to "栄光", which reads "Eikou". This is a shiny light from afar or behind something great. Kind of like a light that shines from behind of the God. It's hard to explain. Kind of like THIS and THIS. |
I love literal translation. It makes it impossible to carry on a conversation in real time, but the essence of the culture can be more understood.

I feel like I should know this one. Tenshi, that is angels or heavenly messengers, don't have halos. The closest thing I can think of is the hagoromo(羽衣).
