Wow, thanks a lot Khatz! I am a state ambassador of foreign relations, and this guide is going to be really helpful for my trip to meet with the emperor of Japan tomorrow! I’m putting all of these in my SRS right now!

He’s using more traditional (pre-WWII) forms of kanji that you probably already know (assuming you’ve finished RTK)

Basically,
國 is the traditional form of 国,
毆 is the traditional form of 殴
脫 is the traditional form of 脱
學 is the traditional form of 学
and 會 is the traditional form of 会

Damn khatz I’ve never even seen some of those kanji. Tried to put a couple of those words I’d never seen into goo,rikaichan, and even google translate and didn’t get anything…

yo khatz man thanks for da pickuplines, I knew that I can count on you.
I just learned an other essential phrase the other day when I was at hookers and blow:

おい、お前生意気なるなよ！！

“Hey, don’t become raw spirits!”

Oh no no, don’t you underestimate the power of the raw spirits, babe! ;P
