FUJOSHI

                                           February 24, 2011

  Fujoshi is one of the funniest
  terms I've stumbled across in         SHOJOS_DESCENT
  the otaku universe...

  It means a woman who's a fan of
  "yaoi", i.e. who likes fantasizing         (The Japanese got to the
  about male homerotic relationships.         "Broke Back Mountain"
                                              stage a long time ago.)

     There's a word like "fujoshi"
     that just means something like
     "lady", but by mispronouncing
     the first syllable, it turns it
     it into a reference to "rotteness"
     (as in "stinky tofu")...

     It literally means something
     like "rotten girl".
