fri., 1 july, 2011, notes on the ongoing japanese fukushima daiichi crises, i.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

JAPANESE:   外人 — gaijin  ‡
JAPANESE:   馬鹿なフライ人 — Baka na furaijin  ‡‡ 
JAPANESE:   アホなフライ人— Aho na furaijin  ‡‡‡

     ‡ )  “Gaijin” — lit., “People from outside the country [Japan]” — a usually pejorative & currently politically-incorrect Japanese term for foreign visitors, or foreign residents — dating from the 13th. C., to describe Chinese, but later to include the 16th. C. Portuguese, & 17th. C. Dutch & British, 19th. C. Americans, & 20th. C. Koreans & Taiwanese, or any non-Japanese residing in or visiting Japan. The term can also be used to describe ethnic Japanese peoples born & raised in the West or elsewhere in Asia…
   ‡‡ )  “Idiot flyjin!” — term of opprobrium aimed at those foreigners (外人 — Gaijin) living & working in Japan during the Tohoku earthquake & subsequent tsunami & Fukushima Daiichi reactor meltdown who fled to the airports & caught the first flights out to resorts such as Phuket in Thailand (many being given vouchers & per-diems by the U.S. embassy in Tokyo), or to Hawaii, or elsewhere; oddly enough this term did not originate with the Japanese themselves but with the foreigners who were loyal, who stayed, stuck it out & did their jobs, & who felt betrayed by the chicken-shite cowardly life-support systems-for-arseholes who cut & ran…
 ‡‡‡ )  “Idiot flyjin!” — Osaka dial.; see above…
