Japanese Lesson #187
2 possibly vital expressions I learned yesterday:
すかしっ屁 (sukashippe) - describes a silent, but deadly fart.
にぎりっ屁 (nigirippe) - is when someone catches their own fart in their hand and releases it under the nose of another.
No wonder I don’t get invited to dinner parties…

That’s just the sort of language we need for everyday life! Thank you. I think I’ll go demonstrate nigirippe to Tod.

Hey. You forgot the ever useful, “HE-GOKI-MUSHI”—-farting cockroach, that is, old guys that silently fart all the time, he, he, he.

Great! Two new words I can use.

Awesome! My wife is embarressed thou…..

Of course I confronted my friend in Tokyo with this as follows:
> I didn’t even know that nigirippe was possible!
His reply:
Very useful, I do “nigirippe” frequentry.
Surely I can, You should try it!Thankyou MJ, I’m getting some good cross-cultural communication now! And no, I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT change any “l"s into “r"s.

Is it popular for boys in Japan to set fire to their “wind”.. if so what would that be in Japanese?? perhaps the hanabi-rippe
