Of Japanese Nicknames and Prefixes.

     I think I've just discovered a really cute general nickname for 


neurotypicals! "Shinkei-tayou-janai-desu-san." Basically, it means 


something like, "Mr. Non-Neuro-diverse-guy."


     Now, let's take her apart."Shinkei," 神経, "of the nerves or nervous 


system," "Tayou," 多様, "diverse," "Janai desu," "isn't," "san," Addresses 


everyone that isn't cute or utterly close, a boy's age and gender, your upper-class 


man, teacher, Professor, captain, or over your station in life.


      Just in case you're befuddled by my use of "san," I have written the following 


on Japanese suffixes."Kun," is attached to a boy's name, "chan" is 


attached to either a girl, a girlfriend, or a very small boy, "senpai" is 


how you address your upper classman, "Sensei" addresses either a 


Teacher, a person w/a doctorate degree, or a master of any given 


profession, "Sama," addresses important people, "Dono," addresses 


the master of at least a moderately large house, and "Tono," I strictly 


use for prayer.

     Oh, "Taichou" addresses captain, btw.

About Me

My photo
Live Long and Prosper! I am an eccentric. I like Jewish/Hebrew music, focusing on whatever special interests I have, especially if it concerns my friends. Quintessentially, I love my gifts from God. I dislike it when people dislike the lives of their own children, and torture them in the name of training and treatment. My dreams for the future are to become a Professor, writer, wife and mum. May the Force be with you!
