TEFL quote of the day- salted testicles
‘When [the family] would have an avocado salad the father would point out that the word “avocado” originates in the Aztec “ahucatl” meaning testicles and his mother would happily tell everyone that the word “salad” comes from salt and hence they were eating “salted testicles”‘
Japan Close-Up Dec 2007
Not the dinner table of John and Liz Soars, although that is how I imagine it…
Japan Close-Up magazine is very much not something you should be reading, let alone paying for, btw. You have been warned! Stick to Metropolis- not because it’s good, but because it’s free. And because you get some interesting nutters on the associated Japan Today forum.
And if quotes is your thing, don’t forget my Quote Japan blog.
