Commenti would recommend deletion of this

original source was eijiro which just gives

imo that's no more idiomatic than something like

pretty straightforward verb usage... at the least, the current english glosses are somewhat misleading and should be reworded

Commentthis is another one of those entries that is completely self-evident and should be deleted, imo

i know this is one of the first "insults" most foreigners learn (probably why it was submitted), but i don't know if it's really any more idiomatic than using ÊÑ¤Ê to describe anything/anyone else.

"ÊѤʳ°¿Í" = 42k hits
"ÊѤʽ÷" = 90k hits
"ÊѤʤä¤Ä" = 170k hits
"ÊѤʿÍ" = 1.4 million hits
etc.

ÊѤʳ°¿Í is the only one of those that *isn't* in eijiro
