Literally "row a boat"

（ｒｙ is such a fun slang expression!
it's short for (略), which would be (ryaku) in romaji. （ｒｙ is a jocular expression that you use to cut off a sentence when you don't need or want to say the rest.
you can even cut yourself off while typing a word in にほんｇ(ry

Probably blew their minds because the conception of 外国人 most Japanese have is not “foreigner” but specifically “non-Japanese” (def 2: “one without Japanese citizenship”). Perfectly natural for a Japanese person to arrive in LA and say, “わあ、外人いっぱいいる”

ドクターストップ DOKUTAA SUTOPPU (refraining from something under doctor's orders) is top-tier Japan-coined English (和製英語).
I taught it to my physician friend who was visiting from the US, and he liked it so much he says he uses it with his patients sometimes. 🤣 #nihongo

#nihongo 指輪 (yubiwa) = ring
Had a flashback to the time I told my gf at the time I found a 首輪 (kubiwa) that would look good on her.
...The issue is that 首輪 is much more commonly used for "(animal) collar" than "necklace." Oof!
Necklace is ネックレス or 首飾り (kubikazari)

JP pranking 101:
1. ask someone "ねえ、ちゃんとお風呂入ってる？"
2. they reply "yes" assuming you meant "have you been bathing properly?"
3. reveal that you actually said "姉ちゃんとお風呂入ってる？" and that they just admitted to bathing together with their older sister

the answer is...none of the above! 田中 カ子 is read:
たなか かね
but why?? there are a couple things that make this name especially tricky. first, as some folks noticed, カ in カ子 is actually katakana カ, not the kanji 力! 1/
