We only called those "datadyr" in Norwegian. :p


That's Interesting ;-)

I was sort of joking. I remembered them because of a Memrise note.

Hope we can come up with better name.

Tamagotchi might be a step too far, but how about 卵 - since we are all eggs hoping to hatch into fully fledged Japanese speakers, right? Or is this just a continuation of my previous food filled post?

Some ideas for team names:

Kakkoe-!
Kimo-kawa
Kizuna
Wabisabi
Onsen
Wa (harmony)
Seyanen! (Osaka dialect)

I'm half-kidding with that last one.

Team name...
Harakiri and Kamikaze are instantly recognizable but unfortunately the suicide thing may send across the wrong message. Same with Seppuku.

Katana? Well known, powerful, and even a bit menacing ;)
Fugu, as the fish you better don't mess with?
Banzai, or "togeki-raigeki" (torpedo attack!) in the short form "Tora!" (how famous was Fleischer's film)?

Now, TSUNAMI is powerful and even if it's not ultra-short it has become almost a synonym of ANNIHILATION as a loanword in every language -- I can't think of anything that summarizes better the spirit of the TAC.

What do you guys think? Would that make the other teams pee their pants on sight or what?

I don't think the name has to be ultra-short, just short enough to leave room for a few more words in the log-title. Tsumani is fine by me. Everyone knows what it means and it clearly fits in with the idea of annihilation.

Tsunami gets my vote.

Tsunami is not bad but I am worried it could be seen as somewhat insensitive by Japanese
people. I wouldn't want to say to a Japanese person, "I'm on Team Tsunami".

It does fit with "annihilation" though, that's for sure.

I guess my vote stays with the Satori/Zen theme. I was thinking of changing my desktop
wallpaper to reflect the Team name, which would be quite easy to do with Zen.
