“Japan named a city after obamatollah?”

From Wikipedia,
Obama means “small beach” in Japanese.
I think it means “Sparklefarts in old English.

As for the heat “record” 39 degrees (centipede), 102 (Fahrenheit) ain’t much of a jump from the old record of 38.7 (C), 101.7 (F) .

Does that mean "Big Mike" means "big bitch" in Japanese?

Axin' for a friend...

Just make sure you use a short o. If you use a long o, it can mean big. I pointed this out to a Japanese colleague once and he laughed.

"You mean like 'fat chance' and 'slim chance' mean the same thing in English?"
