Japanese idiom taken from the American movie "Battalion" (all Japanese words start with a vowel = "o", then sound out battalion without the L's); term used for little old ladies that use their elbows to work their way through a crowded place.
At the fish market, the obatarians relentlessly push their way through the crowd to the front of the line.
