| japanese slang for 男勝り Explanation: 男勝り (otokomasari) has the connotation of: strong, independent and mannish. The first character (男), otoko, has the meaning of 'man', the second (勝), masaru, has the meanings of, 'win' and 'prevail'. So you might say: 'a woman who wants to prevail/or win' or otherwise: 'a strong minded woman'. |
