Japanese Festivals are a LIE | Trash Taste

[@TheCyberFreak]

I had a moment of being overconfident in Japanese and it backfiring. It was my first time and I had learned some phrases, on of the was “where is the bathroom” so when we arrive at our hotel on of my friends had to pee and I was like “I got this”. Approached the receptionist, and asked in confident japanese. Of course he answered in full japanese and I understood absolutely nothing.

I've done this a few times in croatian and german in german it was walking up to a cashier with a cheery "Hey these items please!" she then responded gibberish that i thought was do you want a bag. I said no confidently and with a big smile turns out she was asking cash or card 🤦 This lady was absolutely terrified, i then slowly took out a 50 euro note, showed it to her and slowly slid it to her om the counter.

For those curious about the origins of the term “drip,” it’s actually quite easy to understand and explain - it is a slang noun shorthand for the metaphor “dripping with style.” So, as long as another language also has the concept of metaphors, easy explanation. Though, I must note that the “dripping with X” metaphor is definitely not limited to style, but the term “drip” mostly is.

Actually did a paper on the Buddhist monk mummification in college. The practice is called Sokushinbutsu. In essence, the idea is that the person who is doing it is trying to become a living Buddha. The people who did this would, over a period of around 3,000 days, would decrease the amount of food and water that they consume, seal themselves in a box with a bell that they would ring intermittently, and then become a mummy. These bodies are still revered all across Asia.

OMG FINALLY!!! I can't believe the niche topic I'm deeply interested in has been brought up. I love linguistics and the language you're talking about in 1:51:47 is called Guugu Yimithirr and it is one of those famous anomaly languages in linguistics that change our view on basic concepts like directionality. Linguistics is one of those sciences where people only speaking the wide-spread European languages like English really get to experience how Eurocentric their understanding of core concepts are compared to the rest of the world. Like the idea of basic verb tenses (past, present, future) not being a requirement in languages like Chinese, or like changing the way you speak depending on the formality like in Japanese, or like the idea of base-10 counting not being universal (I think Connor might now this since Welsh is base-20 as far as I remember), etc. etc. And also Connor's thing about English not requiring grammar is not really accurate. In colloquial speech (especially on the internet) every language can bend its rules a lot, it's absolutely not unique to English (a bit of that Eurocentrism showing up there), but the grammar never goes away. You can "slur" your speech or simplify it or play around with the rules (in fact that's how languages change, by wide-spread adoption of "slurred" or non-standard speech), but a broken down language is still a language and languages have grammar. The copium thing is interesting cuz that also happens a lot with other languages. I'm a Russian speaker and explaining some of the terms people use every day not even to a Japanese person but other Europeans, like English speakers, would take soooo much time with me having to explain major cultural concepts like how life used to be in the Soviet Union and stuff like that. I'm sure Japanese has same concepts that are hard to explain as well, like explaining what the hell "yoroshiku onegaishimasu" means in many contexts it's used in to an English speaker can take hours or you could just let them understand it by exposure, same thing for English (I mean come on, explaining copium even to your parents might take a while). And when it comes to using slang or "words that don't exist" or "making shit up", we gotta understand some things. Languages are not rigid. There are dialectal variations based on geographic location, socio-economic background, ethnicity, etc. and a lot of the time people using dialect-specific words that are outside of the standard language taught in schools, like in North England, get labeled as uneducated or not properly speaking the language, when they actually are. Their language is as much rule-based with legitimate grammar and vocabulary with people in their community communicating perfectly well in that dialect on a daily basis with each other that just differs from like the national standard. Stigmatizing and othering the regional dialects or whole-ass languages like Irish Gaelic or Welsh is what led to their poor conditions now, so I thought Connor might've understood this a bit more compared to Joey and Garnt. Dialects and regional languages are small pockets of huge cultural heritage and it breaks my heart every time when I find out a certain minority language or dialect is being replaced in favor of this rigid standardized language, so I really appreciate everone who sticks to their heritage cuz it's hard to do it when you come across challenges against keeping it every day of your life. TL;DR: glad Trash Taste are talking linguistics

[@Bluemilk92]

Language is fun! You might be a fan of good rap. Tangentially, "copium" isn't hard to explain. "Opium", and "Coping" aren't particularly Western concepts. The only other context you'd need is that opiates are used as painkillers.

1:27:00 I've been practicing parkour since 18. To learn the roll: you practice on the ground and then you start scaling the height eventually. Purpose of the roll is to disperse the impact to the legs to the whole body instead. You roll from the upper back (not a shoulder!) in a diagonal to the lower back. Really experienced practioner will be able to immediately continue running after the roll. Parkour is very safe if you practice it right and there are levels to it. As long as you are not overconfident and babystep each move (everything can be broken down to steps) you will be ok. Find a good community to help you progress.

One of the reasons why Americans eat so much in a buffet is because we were raised with the mentality of “getting your money’s worth” 😂 Also, if you came from a poor family like I did, we ate slowly and took our time at buffets because we wanted to eat as much as possible.

it’s always funny when the boys get to breaking down english slang 😅 if i could shed some light: “drip” is an AAVE term that originated from the fact that ppl refer to their diamond jewelry as “ice”, and that ice was so cool but the person wearing it is so hot that it starts to “drip”. also bc the jewelry was so clear it looked like water which also drips. then the term drip just sort of evolved to encompass all fashion, not just jewelry. stg as a member of the black community can confirm, sources: trust me

Air quotes are typically used to emphasize/dramatize a quote. Usually implying suspicion/distrust of the quoted party. In the year of our lord 2022 most air quotes are used in a sarcastic or joking manner when the punchline implies the quoted party is lying or exaggerating. Note: the more times you open and close the pointer and middle finger and the more vigorously you move your arms the more emphasis/drama is injected into the conversation. other nonverbal gestures often accompany the air quotes such as eye rolling.

It's definitely the ultimate language for slang, to the point that the younger generations have pretty much given up on making new slang in their native tongue and are just either directly translating or straight-up borrowing english slang, even if it doesn't really make sense when translated.

1:27:00 That parkour question! The Parkour role tries to only cross the vertebrae once in the whole move! You start with bringing one shoulder down to the ground and then rolling to the opposite hip, so right shoulder to left hip and left shoulder to right hip both of those will cross the spine once. The trick is to lean forward and have your center of mass a little bit in front of your feet when you’re aiming for that ground. you want your shoulders to not be above your hips! I.e. leaning forward mid air! Then you use your feet to transfer downwards momentum outwards! so your feet tap first into the ground resisting the downwards momentum then you are leaning forward with the hands close to each other pushing into the ground (if you’re rolling on your right shoulder don’t put your hands to the right if you’re rolling to the left shoulder don’t put your hands on the left), you lower your shoulder (with the help of your arms) then you push from your feet onto your back push through your hands while on your back then you curl your core keep it tight through the roll, roll to the opposite hip and then to your feet using your hands if you need to to help boost you back to your feet! You train it by using your own height and finding an object that is about shoulder height to your relative height, thin mats or grass is pretty nice! Take it slow!

The thing about suing being low in Japan is that you can be charged of defamation pretty easily, even if you're the victim, so you would have to pay money in the end

I think "spicy pee" happens because capsaicin, the substance that gives peppers their burn, is excreted through the urinary tract

[@5at5una]

OR.. just maybe... someone did taste it and it does taste spicey.. you never know

[@G0S1X]

Ahh capsaicin, instantly reminded me of those NileRed videos

Connor: Could you turn on the fan? Waiter: Sure thing! **Waiter didn't turn on the fan and never did**

Explaination of drip. Fire 🔥 (someones oufit is looking good) + iced out 🧊 (someones accessories is rlly nice) = drip 💧 (fire outfit is melting the ice accessories to make someone's style, drippy)

I used to do skateboarding and longboarding down insane hilly roads and loved it but man with the longboard i took a terrible fall scraped myself up so bad, tore my meniscus and messed myself up hard. I got too scared to do it down huge hills ever again lol

Talking about buffets, when my brother and his friends were late teens/early 20s, they went to a Chinese buffet where we live (SW USA) and they kept eating so much the Chinese owner came to their table and told them, "Hey! It's all you can eat, not all you can eat all day" LOL We still have a good laugh about it.

I HAD TO REPLAY THAT PART 2 TIMES AHAHAHA I REALLY THOUGHT CONNOR SAID "I AM" TOO 😂😂😂

[@maxlopolo2415]

Just for you: DRIP comes from how you describe a perfectly fit and tailored suit. It looks so natural and complements so well the body figure of the wearer that gives the impression of dripping, like water. Someone just took it and expanded it to mean "sharply dressed".

[@addiecore]

I heard the term came from music rappers that were spitting hot bars so hard their clothes were literally wet with saliva or wet from sweat after a long studio session. Drip is a like a statement of how hard someone worked and it reflects in their clothes. It could be conveyed that clean looking clothes are drippy because some wearers try hard to keep them clean and to look fashionable.

[@rapture2414]

@@addiecore I heard something similar, which was that when rappers got ice (diamonds) and their outfit is fire at the same time, it melts and then you get the drip

[@crucifixus]

What I don't get is how people can be so deathly afraid of things like bungee jumping, and down for sky diving like Joey, when you are literally 5 times more likely to die doing the second one. Bungee 1 death in 500k jumps, sky diving 1 death in 100k jumps. Like come on, are the statistics meaningless for people?

[@yudap2459]

Joey got really hyperbolic with heights of things in this episode

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

There is at least one modern case of a dead man coming back in the morgue during autopsy. The theory was that because his heart stopped under conditions where his body was already cold and the cell processes were quickly decelerated, there was minimal brain damage, and because it wasn't that busy in the hospital morgue, he was tended to just hours after death. It's still insane that he was able to slip into a stasis and that his heart and brain somehow reactivated on their own when they took him out of the fridge. Super rare but not unheard of. He said he could feel the scalpel but not the pain as he came to, and then the mortician realized he was breathing. You see, fresh corpses often do weird stuff due to muscles contracting or random reflex signals, and bacteria and yeasts in the cavity can create breathing sounds and movements from the gas they produce as they begin to eat the insides. As such morticians are used to corpses exhaling, opening their eyes, kicking or grabbing, etc.

That’s crazy about parties at restaurants I don’t think I can find a place that wouldn’t accept 12 people happily lol

1:16:46 Connor: "I wanna do a bigger one." Joey: "How big is the one you did?" Connor: "I think it was about 100 metres." Joey: "And that's considered small? medium?" Guys, calm down... /s

[@stinkynoodles8312]

In the Philippine Language, Filipino, the word "Ano" (Ah-noh) basically means "What". However, it is also used as a pronoun for basically everything. "Itong ano." means "That thing." "Iyong ano." means "Your stuff." "Si ano." means "That person." "Sa ano." means "That place." "Noong ano." means "That time." Numerous Philippine dialects also have an equivalent term that can refer to everything. The Cebuano and Bisaya dialects, for example, uses the word "Kuan" (koo-anne) instead of "Ano". These words are often used in sequence, too! "Alam mo yung ano ni ano? Kasi na ano ko yata yung ano." means "Do you know that person's thing? I think I accidentally did something to it." It can be confusing to us sometimes, too. But most of the time we know what the "ano" means because of the context behind it. There's another use for the words "Ano" and "Kuan". They are also used like the English language's "Uhmm". I have no idea why.
