Title: Don't get this, get Womansword instead
Review: I have to admit, I really detest books along the lines of Making Out inJapanese, which purport to teach you Japanese love-slang, for the simplereason that they are insulting to any reasonable person's intelligence.Womansword, by Kittredge Cherry, is much better. An exhaustive yetapproachable "pop study" of Japanese vernacular, this thin, smart bookgoes beyond basic sexual words, and instead takes on words and idiomsthat exist (or once existed) in Japanese, which tell about therelationship of women in Japanese society. Useful for a serious studentas well as for someone looking for some interesting phrases to spring oncute Japanese exchange students.*
