Things lost in translation in sk8 OVA

Rented cat

This in an idiom in Japanese that means someone is acting quieter/more meek than usual.

Hiyayakko

Sure, this does say hiyayakko, though I don't know if people would know what that is without looking it up... it just means chilled tofu.

But the kanji also makes it a little bit of a joke because the name of the dish is a bit of a pun... the kanji 冷奴 literally means chilled servant. The explanation I've heard of this is because servants of samurai during the edo period wore outfits with a square symbol on them.

The second kanji 奴 is also used for やつ(yatsu) which means guy so you could read it as cool guy.

Karuta

I made a list of all the cards here but even after watching it I feel like people might not know how to play. Karuta is a matching game. You have to make two matching decks, the reading deck and the grabbing deck. The players lay all the grabbing deck cards out in a random order and then they read a card from the reading deck and search for the matching card as fast as they can.

Piggyback

Langa doesn't recognize the Japanese word for piggyback because it's a word that came to Japanese through Portuguese. It originated from the Portuguese word ombro(shoulders/back).

Joe's long nose

This is a common joke in some anime. There's an idiom in Japanese that people that are very prideful have a "high/long nose" so this is just expressing that he's very proud of himself.

i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain
