ONYOMI: NIKU
George has got two men's meat trapped in his 'stache. He particularly NEEds COOlio's meat. Of course it might just be easier to think of it as 2 pork chops, but I prefer the more lurid imagery.

筋 (muscle) + 肉 (meat) = 筋肉 (muscle)

sarcasm OR irony. Japanese DO have a sense of sarcasm,(for example, calling the traditional chicken-and-scrambled-eggs dish "parents and child") but it is so different than the Western say-the-opposite-of-what-you-mean style that Japanese don't have a word for western sarc. So they seem to have taken their word for Irony and pressed it into service for sarcasm as well.
