The Japanese word "chokuegambo" describes the wish that there were more designer-brand shops on a given street.

Reading this on Cecily's blog made me wonder: what words have Americans created that somehow hint at cultural predispositions?

Well, "super-size" (verb) is one...

Hey! I learned a new word today! Now I know two Japanese words! (the other being Keizen which means "continuous improvement").

Well, I think I know of another word, but I am not sure if you would like me saying it here (it's not a cuss word, but some people don't like hearing it). Anyway, Cheers!
