ゴキブリ, "gokiburi." A Japanese word. Sounds cute, right? Try saying it. "Go-ki-bu-ri!" Adorable. It should mean something cute, like bunny or kitten.

But it means cockroach.

But I just love the sound so much, I say it all the time. :D

Cockroach is a fun word in a lot of languages. Like in Spanish it's, "la cucaracha." Fun word. Odd since they're easily the most foul and heinous creature to walk the earth.
