I’m actually totally addicted to playing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for DS right now, so… looks like it’ll be another quick-post today!
Today’s theme is… INSULTS (slangy ones)! Or other bad, rude, or otherwise harmful and offensive words you might commonly hear in anime! This post is a little silly and is meant to be taken in a light-hearted fashion. Please don’t try to use these words.
1. BAKA = stupid
Example: “baka domo me!” = “You damn idiots!” (domo gives you plural, me can be attached to almost any word that refers to a person/people to show contempt for them)
Variations: baka yarou (stupid guy), bakageta (foolish), baka mono (stupid person/people)
2. KUSO = shit
Example: Can be used as an exclaimation, a noun, or an adjective. “kuso gaki” = “damn kid!”
Vairations: kusotare (something like, “piece of shit”)
3. HETA = incompetent
Example: Hetalia, the popular and sort of controversial short anime series, is “heta” and “Italia” (Italy) combined, because the character Italy is hilariously stupid and incompetent.
Variations: hetakuso (useless, incompetent person)
4. AHOU = dumbass, idiot
Example: “omae ahou ka!” = “You a dumbass or what!”
5. BOKE = foolish, airheaded person
Example: When someone’s fooling around or acting stupidly in a way that they don’t usually, their friends might call them “boke!” Not a very harsh word.
6. BUSU = ugly woman
Example: When someone wants to really offend a girl, calling them stupid, uncool, useless, etc, just isn’t enough. “busu” is probably one of the worst things to say to a girl.
7. DASAI/DASEE = uncool
Example: When a guy screws up something or does something in a non-cool or non-manly fashion, other guys say/think, “dasee na.”
8. UZAI/UZEE = annoying, fussy, depressing
Example: “maji uzai nda mon!” = “Man, it’s just such a drag!”
9. BUTA = pig
Example: “kono buta!” = “You pig!” Basically the same usage as in English – for fat, ugly, gross, perverted, etc, people.
10. GERO = vomit
Example: “gero ga deru hodo” = “so much it makes me wanna puke”/”until I vomit”
