"girigiri" = by the skin of your teeth, a close call

sorry these are all expressions and things :d
I mostly know weird stuff

hee, I quite like girigiri~
btw, where does your vocab come from? For me, even though I've taken Japenese courses, the words I remember are usually the ones I hear in often anime+drama.^^

riyuu = reason

Yuzu = a citrus fruit, like oranges/mandarin oranges

well, I took about two years' worth of japanese in sophomore year, but most of my vocab comes from the wife of a neighbor, who gave me all these little books to read. She was so pleased someone wanted to learn japanese :d
There were books with things like "girigiri" and other double-words that are kind of like english onomatopeia, and two more about "those stupid gaijin" :p

haha, those sound like fun books for a gaijin to read--Japanese onomatopeia is about 100 times more awesome than the English equivalent, no?

zu zu zu
ouch.
zubon = pants
(because I will not resort to cheatery! this time at least. a graceful loss ;p)

"Onsen"! = a hot spring bath

zubon is an awesome word.
Or "zuruzuru" like a snake crawling :p

..this is funn.

XDD, just so you know, ending a word with 'n' usually means you lose (because you can't begin a word with the japanese 'n' phonetic), but I'll play it your way. ^_^
btw, zuruzuru is now my new favorite sound.
continuing~

enryo = refrain
