EF

European language schools organisation. Nobody know's what EF actually means although, having lived in Oxford - an EF stroghold - for a number of years I can only assume it stands for 'Easy Fuck.
Did you see those Italian EF girls getting off the coach? Man, sometimes it's good to live in this shithole wanker-student city!

burriko

Japanese woman of a certain age who looks and acts much younger. Given that it's often hard to identify the age of asian women anyway it can be difficult to spot a burriko.

gloomy sunday

Song, originally written by Seress Rezo in Budapest in the late 1920's. Became famous in connection with string of suicides. Later recorded by Billie Holiday and, as in Hungary, was connected with several cases of 'self deliverance'.
The writer killed himself in the late 1960's.
Incidentally, until recently Hungary had the highest suicide rate in the world.
Original title - Szomoru Vasarnap

pocari sweat

Strange, tangy supposedly 'soft' drink from Japan which, according to the blurb on the can, replaces the electrolytes lost through perspiration.
The sensation of actually drinking the stuff is like putting your tongue on the twin terminals of a 9v. battery.
Pocari Sweat is Japanese Coke to Calpis' Pepsi.

takashi miike

Badass and extremely prolific Japanese film maker (60 films in 9 years!!!) who has made some of the most daring and imaginative films of the last decade. Films such as the Dead Or Alive trilogy, Fudoh, Audition and Ichi The Killer are both extreme in content and intelligent enough to rise above the label of pure exploitation. His most bizarre film might be Happiness Of The Katakuri's - a musical about a family that open a guest house on an active volcano. He is working on a project with the other great contempory Japanese director Takeshi Kitano.
