| Comments: | I was speaking to my friend in Japan and was trying to explain the word "suspense", so looked it up. I said this one (kintama ga agattari kudattari), and she started laughing and said it must have been entered as a joke. She told me to look up "kintama" which apparently means "testicle." So, basically this means "testicles up or down" and while that may be how some people express "being held in suspense," I think it is explicit and should be at least marked as such. Please review this entry. |
