I'm currently listening to the unabridged audio book of "Memoirs of a Geisha" and I decided to look up some terms to get a better understanding of their history.
Here's a little search tip for you all:
Although they may sound similar, Kabuki and Bukkake are two very, very different things.

ReplyDeleteMy challenge word was Bukkake - weird. I hope you didn't do an image search...
ReplyDeletethank God i didn't do an image search. my naive and scholarly genetic makeup led me straight to the online dictionary, which in turn sent me to Wikipedia.
ReplyDelete"Bukkake can also mean a Japanese noodle preparation method (doused with dashi). For that meaning, refer noodles."
i've gotta learn not to read your blog at work.
