"Aw, so kawai."
"Huh?"
"Kawai. It means 'cute' in Japanese."
"Kah-wah-ee is what you want. But don't do that."
"Why not?"
"You just... take my word on it."

    ^^Some of my highschool friends refer to each other as Kingdom Hearts characters with honorifics on Facebook.

    "Aw you're the best Demyx-niichan~!"

    Now you know why I prefer Google+.

    Anyway, so far I don't think I've ever actually heard any random Japanese word usage IRL, which is weird since I've been to anime cons.  Closest I've come to it was hearing this one kid in my Literature class say that Elvish was a stupid language, and that some other kid should learn a "cool nerd language, like Japanese."

    that Elvish was a stupid language

    Was he referring to Sindarin or Noldorian?

    One of my friends on Facebook goes by the name "Kanon Akumu", and is also incredibly emo in appearance.

    Apparently he's fluent in Japanese (going by my cousin's testimony), but the name he's chosen is really clunky.

    The closest that I can think of besides that is an awkward friend of mine who browses TVTropes and doesn't realize how annoying it is to use trope names in real life yet (thankfully he's the only one I know), and references Clannad even though I'm the only other person in the room who's even heard of it and wouldn't recoil at what it was.

    "cool nerd language, like Japanese.""

    Why can't they just learn it because it's a pretty language? I like Japanese 'cause it's pretty, not because it's the language of a country that produces the only animation I can tolerate on a regular basis.

    ^^ It's unlikely he was aware of any difference, and possibly neither was the person he was speaking grumbling with at about.

    I do like the way the language sounds and looks (and that at least in theory it's a lot more logical than English), but honestly if I was going to put any real effort into learning it, it would only be to play Japanese games and to watch all the magical girl anime that nobody gives enough of a shit about to sub, since I don't really have much of an interest in learning a whole language just for the hell of it.

    For the record, I'm learning it because my godmother was Japanese.

    I've used gratuitous Japanese on one occasion but that was just because one of the people was going on a vaguely racist rant about Japan. It eventually led to some of us using Japanese honorifics in his presence just to troll him.

    I only use gratuitous japanese in a totally ironic way, guise

    IJBM: Scarves are hipster apparel now.

    . . . I might still get one soon, though.

    And I'm keeping my glasses, 'cause FUCK contacts.

    the scarves are so sexy, they're worth it though
