the meaning of word 'yoko'


I really like how the word "yoko" is pronounced, and I'll like to use it in my
bussiness. I think that my bussiness will be named "yoko garage".

Do you know what yoko means? Does it have any bad or good meanings/concepts
related to it?




Yoko (横) is a fairly generic term meaning "side".

However, there are some less common, negative meanings associated with this
word meaning "wrong", "invalid", "illogical", and "disorder". It also has a
sense in which a prostitute to leave a client in secret to meet another man
("yoko ni iku"). And of course there are negative terms derived from this as
well such as yokoshima meaning "evil" or "wicked".
