A Glossary of Kiyo

Often, when I say things, people say 'Huh?!'. So I'm designing this glossary to easily translate Kiyo-speak, which is often laced with Japanese and German.

Nyow - Nyow is a Cat Kiyoko drew in Algebra class. Nyow tends to be cuter than Kyonkichi (Neko-kun, Kyo Sohma, Kyon Kyon, etc) when drawn in ani form. Nyow is her 'Fall back cat' - if she can't think of something, or Kyo-neko-san refuses to be drawn, Nyow will cheerfully take his spot. Nyow was named after the sound cat's make.

Nani? - She asked you 'What?' in Japanese. Duh.

Gomen OR Gomenasai - She's apologizing. In japanese.

Neko-kun, Nezumi-kun, Kitsune-kun - This one actually takes a bit of explaining. She recently (randomly) decided to call the Juuinshi and Naruto (and anyone associated with an animal) by that animal. The exceptions are Momiji, who she calls Miji-kun (and other, more admiring names), and Kyo, simply because Kyonkichi gets a better reaction.

Ne? - Either you caught her off gaurd, she's using it in place of "no?" or "right?" at the end of a sentence, or she's randomly tacking it on because she thinks it looks cool. In any case, you can generally ignore it.

Baka - Fool, or idiot. She uses this one a LOT.

Bishounen - Pretty boy. Uses it to describe boys she likes or boys in Shoujo Manga. Includes Ed (MegaTokyo), Momiji Sohma (Fruits Basket), Yuki Sohma (Fruits Basket), Megumi Hanajima (Fruits Basket), Most of the Sohma's (Fruits Basket), Hunny-chan (OHCHS), and many others. She says on occasion, when confronted with the fact that she has multiple anime crushes: "It's not my fault I'm attracted to bishounen!"

Dummkopf - German for Stupid head. Used when she wants to insult people without them knowing it. (a surprising amount of people know baka.)

Kyuu - The sound of a sigh. Used rarely, and in various forms.

Kyuu... - She's either sad, sick, or otherwise afflicted. This includes thinking too hard.

Kyuu~ - She's extremely comfortable with her enviroment. Used most often when in a warm place drinking hot tea.

Cool - She's interested, but not really. She doesn't want to dissapoint you, though.

Cool! - She's genuinely interested. She cares about what you're saying, and applauds it/you.

Sugoi! - She's extremely interested. She's very happy for whatever is getting the benefit, or is truly excited. Sugoi means "cool" in japanese.
