woohoo, nerd gathering. – Ali Sep 19 '10 at 13:31

It's been renamed to "Japanese Language & Usage"! Sounds cooler, though I hope we can choose the URL to be something like "nihongo.stackexchange.com" – Lukman May 24 '11 at 3:23

@awesomeguy: To be honest, I think anybody who has even the slightest chance of contributing to the site will know the meaning of that word. – Matti Virkkunen May 27 '11 at 7:34

This is a good question that I'd be interested in seeing the answer to. I'd vote this on-topic if I had any votes left. – Ali Jul 20 '10 at 15:19

StackExchange questions aren't good unless there can be a single correct answer. – bignose Jul 24 '10 at 4:13

This is way to generic to get a good solid answer for and would likely lead to a subjective thread. – rjzii Aug 31 '10 at 16:48

	Subjective in nature – Kilhoffer Jun 22 '10 at 17:54
	Good off-topic question. This site should be geared to those learning Japanese. Therefore, learning techniques are useful. – Armstrongest Jul 9 '10 at 23:41
	It isn't a good off-topic question. Please see meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/53919/… – Master Of Disaster Jul 10 '10 at 1:14
	This isn't a good question but it's (very vaguely) on topic. Therefore it wouldn't make a good off-topic question. – Ali Jul 20 '10 at 15:16
	... But vote for it anyway! – Ali Sep 15 '10 at 8:59

	I can't vote as a good question since I think anyone who has heard of the word probably knows the answer or could just look it up in a dictionary. – Master Of Disaster Jun 20 '10 at 12:46
	Perhaps, "What's the difference between seppuku and hara kiri" might have legs, but this question on it's own doesn't exactly require expert knowledge. – Ali Jun 20 '10 at 16:41
	I'm with Ali's answer – Armstrongest Jul 9 '10 at 23:42
