Mina-san, I’m starting to wonder why these girls took the job at a Maid Bar in the first place…

avatar maxiewawa says:

Sometimes when talking about someone particularly extraordinary, I say

”頭もかっこもいい”

I’ve mashed together 頭がいい、and かっこいい… usually people just give me a blank look… :sad:

When you first read 頭もかっこもいい did you understand what I meant? Or did you just :shock: like everyone else who hears it?

avatar sTeVe aUsTiN says:

Not sure what you’re going on about, mate. But it’s all good. :lol:

Does Japanese Pod own a chain of maid cafes or something? After 4 of these stories, I feel sort of like I’m a weirdo since I’m the only here who hasn’t gone to one yet. :lol:
Guess I should give it a try this weekend.

You guys win. I can’t resist anymore…. must… see… maids… :kokoro:

avatar kitty-chan says:

These maids are かっこいい!  :dogeza:   :dogeza:   :dogeza:
Can foreigners work in a maid cafe? I’d like to try it! :hachimaki: :hachimaki: :hachimaki:

avatar Javizy says:

Sexual harassment moe :lol: :lol: 直美もえぇ~

What sort of nuance does 格好いい have when used about a woman? Good-looking is a nice compliment for both guys and girls, but I haven’t heard 格好いい used like that about women, I usually hear either きれい or かわいい, but then I do have limited exposure.

Max, I’d go with the extra two syllables and say 頭がよくて格好いい , rather than sound strange.

avatar markystar says:

maxさん、i’ll defer to javizy on this one. :lol:
i didn’t get it either…

stevesさん、if you come to akasaka, yuuki and i will take you to the one near our office :hachimaki:

kitty-chanさん、i don’t know…
but i bet you could make a lot of money if you started a 外国人マイド居酒屋!

Javizyさん、you’re spot on! かわいい is used more!

as for a discussion about the nuance of these words, let’s do them in the forum! i think if we started a thread we could cover all the bases there easily (whereas this thread will be lost in the sands of time in 2 weeks….)
what do you think? :mrgreen:

avatar Javizy says:

Sounds like a good idea, but I don’t really know enough about them to start it. I’d like to know how to convey ‘hot’ and ’sexy’ as well; they have a slightly different nuance to ‘good-looking’, ‘cute’, ‘pretty’, etc. It’d be interesting to know some of the more inappropriate expressions that guys use when they talk about women too, just to compare them to English :lol:

avatar Sindyシンディー says:

JP101 crew/listeners! :wink:

ありがとうございます! :dogeza:

I really like this Guy’s Night lessons! :cool:

I come to save and take 美樹、 格好いい from the maids cafe and all that Moe to a better job! :lol: :hachimaki:
Ushijima-san you can come with us if you want too. :wink:

Marky-san! :wink:

Yes I agree you have all my support! :mrgreen: S_R_C

avatar Yuki says:

maxiewawa-san
頭もかっこいい means ” your head is good shape, too!” , kinda make sense tho!! :lol:

avatar watermen says:

This maid bar topic is interesting. I want to see them flirting. :oops:

avatar クリストファー・ハート (KC8UFV) says:

sTeVeさん
You’re not the only one here who has never been to a maid bar.

I have no idea. You guys hired ‘em. :mrgreen: Maybe they’ll tell you if you ask them.
