Well, to get around in Japan you have to know the slang right? Aw, who am i kidding?

I've notced that the Japanese have their own slang (who hasn't?) I've asked my Jap class teacher and he doesn't really know about the slangs used in Japan. So mind telling me a few? :joyful:

A while ago my auntie bought me a book called "outrageous japanese: slang, curses and epithets". If you want, I can type some the stuff in it up.

'cheapskate' = I say "けちん坊(kechinbou)" in Japanese.
or "守銭奴(syusendo)"A slave of money
'stingy' = I say "渋ちん(shibuchin)" in Japanese.
or "しみったれ(shimmitare)"

"DQN"=The person that a person and knowledge lacking common sense are poor

Any word on the accuracy of any of that?

Not that I plan on cussing anyone out in Japanese, I've just always been very interested in slang and how it is used in different cultures.

No, really.
