2.0 out of 5 starsInteresting, but I will not buy this book.
By Ryouma Sakamoto on June 16, 2011
Format: Paperback
I am a Japanese. This book is interesting, but many of slang written in this book are out of date. Most of those slang was used by oldfashioned yakuza or criminals in 20th century. Most of ordinary people in Japan don't speak like that. If you go to Japan, then talk to Japanese like this, people will be astonished, then they will recommend you not to use those words "for your own good".

3.0 out of 5 starsA Good Effort, But What Would You Do With It?
By customer on July 16, 2010
Format: Paperback
The content seems interesting enough, but I am never sure what to do with books like Japanese Slang: Uncensored. There were some words I recognized, and many others that were new to me. It was fun to read. Personally, though, I don't plan on sprinkling any of these into my daily speech.

My feeling is that this book would appeal to yakuza movie fans, those who want to hang out in the seedier sections of town, and students of Japanese who want to upset their instructors :) A book like this might be worth five stars to anyone falling into these categories!

He puts his terms into narrative form, which is far better than a mere list of words. I was unconvinced by many the folk etymologies, but they made for good reading nonetheless.

1.0 out of 5 starsI don't get it.
By G. Brown on January 20, 2008
Format: Paperback
Peter Constantine never went to Japan a day in his life until 2005. Please explain how he can be an expert on Japanese slang or ANYTHING Japanese.
