No, you won't be saying 'gallbladder' very often, but you still need this kanji to describe daring daytime bank robberies or mad ninja feats: Americans say "That takes balls," but Japanese apparently say, "That takes gallbladders!"

Mnemonic

The daring husband went to the moon and came back with a good TAN.

Jukugo

大胆(だいたん) な

daring or bold ★★★☆☆
大 (big) + 胆 (gall bladder / daring) = 大胆 (daring or bold)

daring or bold, - not just courageous, but taking risks when you don't need to. Not just a bank-robbery, but a bank robbery at high noon, while wearing Hirohito masks!.
