Let's play a Shiritori Game - Japanese word game

[Mikawa Ossan]

Thank you SaruSaru!

Actually, I know what it means, but I don't know the English off hand. I never learned it through the medium of English, so I never really considered what it might be in English. The fact, too, that I usually don't think of it in terms of a word, but rather a phrase doesn't help much, either! LOL

I guess I better offer a new word to keep the thread on track:

魔王 まおう Um...kind of a devil of sorts...(This game is so much easier when you don't have to translate your words! lol)
