Especially, gorotuski implies a member of gang group such as Yakuza. |

| japanese slang for Huryo Explanation: The first couple of words that came up to my mind were huryo (不良) and waru (ワル）. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2006-10-26 03:57:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Both may not look good-natured but often turn out to be so. They are used to describe younger people. Gorotsuki, however, is more associated with a relatively older man who has no job and does something bad. Or maybe this helps better?: http://www.answers.com/topic/hooligan -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 days (2006-11-02 06:27:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Each of the terms you mentioned may have some positive connotations but it really depends on how it is used in the context. I now think it is quite difficult to find Japanese terms that fit exactly in your definition for hooligan. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 days (2006-11-05 05:12:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Mavericker, that was fine - I wish I could have come up with any better ideas. Cannot find anything perfect for "good-natured rough." You might want to be descriptive in a phrase. |
