Hi.
Some years ago I remember hearing some sort of an acronym for household chores, like ツ「窶堋ウ窶堋オ窶堋キ窶堋ケ窶堋サツ」, where each syllable stands for a first syllable in a respective chore (like laundry or cooking). Given that the source is anime (Minami-ke, probably) I'm not quite sure that this thing is even real. If someone can shed light on this it will be greatly appreciated.
 
I know the one for cooking: さ = 砂糖、し = 塩、す = 酢、 せ = 醤油、 そ = 味噌 (major seasonings in a lot of Japanese cooking). Why 醤油 is せ I don't know (old kana?)
 
Right, That's from the historical kana usage せうゆ. (And そ is from みそ, of course.)
 

This is the reason why Kanji is important....
 

That might've been it, though I'm not sure. Thanks, it's an interesting bit of information regardless.
 
家事のさしすせそ

さ:裁縫[さいほう] sewing
し:躾[しつけ] discipline
す:炊事[すいじ] cooking
せ:洗濯[せんたく] washing
そ:掃除[そうじ] cleaning
 

Lol, did Japanese men came up with it?
 
Do you have a thought that only women should do those chores?
 
Sweet, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot.

Why? Is there gender specific language there? Or is it just because of household tradition in Japan? (Please forgive my ignorance, I've been studying Japanese a little more than a month, so I don't know much yet)
