"Thought you might like this. Japanese is a funny old language, and since it has fewer basic syllables than english, you get quite alot of words that sound the same but have wildly different meanings. I looked up a word which I heard on one of Emily's videos - dakko - and found the following meanings:

1. (child's) hug; carrying a baby in one's arms;
2. finishing writing; completion of a manuscript
3. anal prolapse

This was half an hour ago, and I've only just got myself together enough to write this mail..."

Background: this mail was sent by a school mate of mine who lives in Japan and Emily is his year old daughter.
