I adore words

And I like playing with them …Using them to say something, but not quite

Learnt while I was talking to some one the other day that there’s a term called Nandake in Japanese (That’s his status message ALL the time!)

Which essentially means describing something, without really saying it in so many words.

"Okay. Let's say you are telling me about something .. like a new bird you just saw.And you are describing it but the word 'bird' doesn't come to mind. And you'd go "you know, it's yellow, it has huge wings, it's a ... nan dake"

:-)]

Clearly, I found the idea fascinating!

So here’s a new chapter, Dedicated to the spirit of banter.

Nandake?
