1404-1603 Flashcards
1404冷cool
To keep your water cool, just order some ice.
1405領jurisdiction
Two cowboys are crossing a state limit. One says to him “Did you know that in this Jurisdiction there are Orders to get your head?”, so he takes out his gun and shoots him. He claims the reward afterwards. (Thanks Fuaburisu).
1406鈴small bell
Some restaurants have a small gold bell to call someone to take customers’ orders.
1407勇courage
I imagined some kind of initiation rite in old China, where every young man has to show his courage. They then receive a chopseal which is a mark of their courage.
1408通traffic
I bounce down the road on my pogo stick, easily getting through the dense traffic. (Note: New primitive: chop-seal + utilize = pogo stick. Because a chop-seal is long and thin with a rubbery bit at the end. If it were big enough, you could utilize it as a pogo stick). [Edit: pogo stick also appears in 1409, 1690, 2530]
1409踊jump
The high #jump#er has his wooden leg fitted with a pogo stick, and can now jump even higher. (See my note at {1408} for pogo stick). EDIT (2 years later): Keyword “jump” leads to confusion later on (see cjon256’s post), #”Dancing”# would be better (but be sure to keep it distinct from {1774}). New Story: I was no good at #dancing# due to my wooden leg… until I had it fitted with a pogo stick!
1410疑doubt
(Katsuo) You come at the zoo entrance. Here sir, a spoon to feed the animals.
cool and a dart(gun) in case stuff go wrong
…. please chop-seal (sign) here for in case of accidents the zoo is not responsible.
lion feeding time is. bla bla
You are having serious doubts about if you still want to go into this zoo.
1411擬mimic
Ask a MIMIC to give an impression of DOUBT, and he will no DOUBT scratch his head with his FINGER
1412凝congeal
I doubt that the jello would congeal sitting on the counter, so I placed it in the icebox.
1413範pattern
this pattern made of bamboo is for a new model of car designed to leave as small an ecological fingerprint as possible.
1414犯crime
Crimes can often be solved using the tools of dogs and fingerprints.
1415厄unlucky
Seeing some finger prints at the edge of a cliff, I wondered who that unlucky person was.
1416危dangerous
You’re bound up by ropes to an unlucky person. It’s dangerous, because whatever happens to him will happen to you too.
1417宛address
Your address should be displayed on your house and mailbox.For the primitive: This is a hi-tech Japanese mailbox, it automatically lights up in the evening, and has a biometric fingerprint scanner.
1418腕arm
Like in Memento, I tattoo my address on my fore#arm# flesh so I don’t forget it. Kinda like me because I tend to forget my address… alll the fucking time.
1419苑garden
Japanese “#gardens#” aren’t anything more than a pot of flowers on top of the mailbox.
1420怨grudge
I had a little #grudge# against my ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend…so I ripped out his heart (like in indiana jones and the temple of doom) and then I left it in her mailbox
1421柳willow
Having decided to use SIGN OF THE HARE rather than RECEIPT and STAMP my mnemonic goes as follows:The WILLOW is the TREE that droops likes a HARE’s ears.
1422卵egg
The Easter Bunny dropped an #egg# on my desk and got yolk all over my receipts and stamps.
1423留detain
Got a receipt for that dagger, son? If not, we’re going to #detain# you and send you to work in the rice fields.
1424貿trade
There’s a buyback program where you can trade in your dagger for money. But it’s quite ineffective, since only registered dagger-owners with the original receipts can participate, and not criminals with illegally-purchased daggers.
1425印stamp
before sticky backs, they had to staple stamps to letters
1426興entertain
To me, this looks like a pictograph of a road leading to the big city (see the buildings?) where there are plenty of places to be entertained. Unfortunately in this city, every store is the same: staples. What tools! [ayoung24]
1427酉sign of the bird
The sign of the bird on this whiskey bottle is of course the Famous Grouse blended Scotch.
