Words of the Day XVIX

Lazy!

Today, I woke up, and had a good sleep. I forgot to post yesterday, and only remembered at about 3 am. So I just let it go. Been playing DoW2 Campaign co-op with my mate, that's been a lot of fun.


Japanese Word of the Day is: 遅い
                                          Osoi

English Word of the Day is:  Tardy


Osoi is one of those fantastic words that serves many purposes. It means either slow, or late, or stupid. Isn't that nice?

Tardy means slow, ineffectual, late, and is reminiscent of 'retarded' which means stupid. Isn't that nice?


Osoi in a sentence: 
お前は遅いです。

You are (slow/late/stupid).
  



Well, that's about it for me today. Tell me in the comment section if you are an unfunny joke that was flogged to death!

    lol tardy is one of my favorite words, although I use it incorrectly. When a mate is acting stupid I tell them they are acting or being tardy, like a tard lol. Perhaps not PC but whatevs
