Facial Expression Question

[Punk の軍のロッカー]

I was watching Ayu's new video, and at the end it shows her doing this facial expression....



I saw this somewhere around this Forum somewhere, but I forgot what it means. What does it mean again?
Thank you S!

"akan be----" is the ulimate insult in Japanese. but .... it's still not as powerful as swearing in English. It's just funny.

hmmm is this something "special" in japan? ..

dont they have as much "bad" language as other countries have?

Japanese are too polite to have so many swear words in their vocabulary like we in the West have.

It's something my hubby still can' t get his head around - when or when not to use swear words in English! (I tell him, why not don't use them at all......)

Japanese just don't insult people the same way. There are three types of swearing

Profanities (using clergical vocabulary to swear)
Obscenities (using biological vocabulary to swear)
Curses (actually wishing bad things to the person your swearing against)

Curses are the more common in the Japanese language, but they are not as vastly used as profanities and/or obscenities in English...

whoa!

i've seen that gesture in many of my anime, some japanese movies and a few other places, but i've only ever seen children doing it. is it a more childish insult...?

Yesturday was watching the Christmas Love Hina movie and Naru did that same expression to Keitaro. I see it a lot in other Animes as well.

I guess it depends how you use it against someone.

Cheers S!
