nataraja

Shiva's form as the lord of the dance, who, kinda like Atlas, keeps the world going (but instead of lifting it, he dances on it).

Usually shown as a graceful guy in dreads with four arms dancing in a circular ring of fire.

A bronze of Nataraja: don't leave India without one.

kunoichi

Female ninja. Now an pop-culture stereotype who wears a really really short "kimono" (barely covers butt), a headband, and ofted is packin' several blades.

"That kunoichi might be deadly in anime or manga, but she couldn't get anything done in that costume in real life."

juggernaut

Variant of "Jagannath," a name for the Hindu deity Krishna. "Juggernaut" is likely a British mispronunciation.

Today, though, a "juggernaut" is generally a force beyond mortal control.

Hapless mortal: "What hit me?"
