| Comment | Here I go again down the road of unpopularity but I have for many years now gleaned meaning from the kanji, ie etymology. To that end, 庶民 is the base from which the adjective is derived. Without context I am helpless but I would suggest "of the masses; of the common people". And again, depending on the context, this could mean anything from folksy to vulgar (vulga in the Latin sense). Sorry not to be of more help. I can only say, and here is where I win friends, the current rendering is "off" by much. |

| Comment | Sorry to get all pedantic, but the current entries: "travellers' cheque" and "travelers' check" are improper English. The apostrophe precedes the "s" when this word is in singular form, unless you wish to imply that a large number of travellers are sharing the same cheque. (When in plural form, "traveller's cheques" and "travellers' cheques" both seem to be acceptable, though.)
BTW, sorry for the use of caps in my 旅行者用小切手submission. It was a copy-and-paste job. |

| Comment | added the true definition of the word, as well as the word "blindfold", as it seems that it's the word that best describes 目隠し but is mysteriously absent. added "blinder", as it's a more common word for "blinker"
split up the senses, and changed the wording of the second sense to make it more clear note, there are also two more senses to this word according to the goo entry: 目隠し is short for 目隠し鬼, a game of tag similar to marco polo and it is also short for 目隠し葺き, a waterproof method of tiling a roof, such that the nail holes are covered. (1)目を物でおおって見えないようにすること。また、そのおおい。 (2)家の中が外から見えないようにおおいをすること。また、そのおおい。 「―に木を植える」 (3)「目隠し葺き」の略。まがくし。 (4)「目隠し鬼」の略。 |
