Nihongalog

A hybrid language spoken by Japinoys and other Filipinos in Japan. It is a mixture of Japanese and the Filipino language of Tagalog. Also known as Tagahongo.

Nihongalog : "Kumusuta ka desu ka? Aki-no namae wa Maria Aquino desu. Tiga san ka?"

(English: "How are you? My name is Maria Aquino. Where are you from?")

nihongagged 

1. The silent relization that seriously learning real Japanese may actually be the hardest thing you have ever tried to do.
Often mixed with the angry realization that nobody ever actually taught you fucking english, so why even compare the goddamn grammars!?

2. Secretly deciding to learn Japanese anyways, regardless of the cost. (you know, like the 47 Ronin!)

Otaku usually get nihongagged after buying a $60 Kanji Dictionary and Essential Grammar book and trying to read it all in one sitting. (you know, like a novel)

I'm feeling a little nihongagged right now, but watching Ghost in the Shell 2 again should loosen me up.

nihonmachi 

J-town
LA & SF historical/ethnic neighborhoods where many Japanese people live, work and shop.

Japantowns important to many Japanese Americans since back in the days it was a center of culture, a place where they could work, live, shop, and keep culture and traditions alive.

Let's go nihonmachi to-day to see the taiko drummers at the Obon festaval.
Mrs. N lives in Nihonmachi at the old folks center with lots of Nissei people.

Theres a really awesome beauty pagent in Nihonmachi next weekend-let's go.

Nihonmachi is a great place to buy a wedding kimono, shop at the market, and Japanese hardware/garden center.

We would go to temple in Nihonmachi, then to the Atomic Cafe for lunch, then after we got shave ice, and imagawayaki to eat while we strolled along looking at beautiful art and ceramics.
