PUNINK-REDIBLE WORDS
How the puns work
The word ika hides inside all sorts of Japanese phrases. Here is how each one works, so overseas members can laugh along.
いかが？
How about it?
Ika means squid. Ikaga means “how about…?”
いかしてる！
Looking sharp!
Ikasu is old slang for “cool” — with ika inside.
もう、いかん。
I’m done for.
Ikan means “no good” — a phrase you hear a lot in western Japan.
防府く絶倒！
Hōfu-ku zettō!
Folds the city of Hōfu into hōfuku zettō, “to roar with laughter.”
絶好長州！
Zekkō Chōshū!
Zekkōchō means “in top form”; Chōshū is Yamaguchi’s historical name.
ふくみ笑い。
Fuku-mi warai.
Fukumi-warai is a quiet chuckle; fuku is what Shimonoseki calls pufferfish.
イカ同文
Ditto.
Ika dōbun, “same as above,” sounds exactly like “squid, same text.”
やるしかなイカ
Only one way: do it.
“Yaru shika nai ka” — there’s no choice but to do it — ends in ika.
イカりを下ろして落ち着こ
Drop anchor and calm down.
Ikari means both “anger” and a ship’s “anchor.”
