TOU |
My older brother formed the 'mohican party' , a motley coalition of punks whose slogan was 'Kick The Man with your steel-TOE!' |
自民党 |
LDP
★★☆☆☆
the Liberal Democratic Party - the MacArthur and CIA-backed party which has remained almost constantly in control of Japan since the war, by using their secret stash of funds that Tojo stole from Asia. A lot of post-war LDP bigshots were war criminals. Take that, post-Nazi Germany! |
共産党 |
the Japanese Communist Party.
☆☆☆☆☆
the Communist Party. Of course, they're not real communists, any more than the LDP are liberals. I have no idea what the fuck these guys believe in. |
甘党 |
a sweet-tooth
☆☆☆☆☆
SARC
another fine example of Japanese-style sarcasm: あまとう (literally 'sweet party') means someone who loves eating candy. Actually, you can use the 党 for many jokes this way. |

党 | political party | OLDER BROTHER | 兄 |
尚 | all the more | GOATEE | |
堂 | assembly hall | GROUND | 土 |
常 | usual | DAGGER | 市 |
My OLDER BROTHER joined a political party.
Men with GOATEES are all the more macho.
The assembly hall is built on very dangerous GROUND,
so it's usual to bring a DAGGER inside.
