Oji-san and Ojii-san

Ohji-san.

Ojesus-san.

Found this while googling jiisan.

Hanasaka Jiisan, a Japanese Fairy Tale
Link

An old childless couple loved their dog. One day, it dug in the garden, and they found a box of gold pieces there. A neighbor thought the dog must be able to find treasure, and managed to borrow the dog. When it dug in his garden, there were only bones, and he killed it. He told the couple that the dog had just dropped dead. They grieved and buried it under the fig tree where they had found the treasure. One night, the dog's master dreamed that the dog told him to chop down the tree and make a mortar from it. He told his wife, who said they must do as the dog asked. When they did, the rice put into the mortar turned into gold. The neighbor borrowed it, but the rice turned to foul-smelling berries, and he and his wife smashed and burned the mortar.

That night, in a dream, the dog told his master to take the ashes and sprinkle them on certain cherry trees. When he did, the cherry trees came into bloom, and the Daimyo (feudal landlord), passing by, marveled and gave him many gifts. The neighbor tried to do the same, but the ashes blew into the Daimyo's eyes, so he threw him into prison; when he was let out, his village would not let him live there anymore, and he could not, with his wicked ways, find a new home.

I'm still not an old fart!

That title is shared by Chanti and Nikolce.

In Japanese: "Jiisan refers to an older male relative that is not directly related - Grandfather or Uncle"

"Jisan" is translated as to "bring/bringing" something to another, or with.

You're old inside

Thank you!

sounds like those old "Intel Inside" catch phrases.

You can still call someone uncle even if they're the same age as someone you'd call grandpa, doesn't mean the word means the same. Kids can call someone ji-san or ajusshi (in Korea) even if they're in their late 20s or 30s (though you're not supposed to in 20s really) because they're so much older than themselves. It varies but that doesn't mean they mean the same thing.

Notice the words used - "refers too", which doesn't implicitly state "means the same thing"

My niece, from my father's side, is older than my sister, yet is also still my sister's niece.

I suppose I should have added "usually" to that line.

Damn bear is overly literal to the point that it goes over his head.

one of my favorite Megaman fights ever. Well, the entire boss zone was fun

Except Darkalenia said it meant uncle OR grandfather when it doesn't, they are two separate words

As in you can translate them to mean either when you can't

I know right? Always the first one I take down.

Mega Man has been a big part of my life, since the NES days. Once the X series was released, that was it. Game Over. Huge fan for life. Can't wait for Mighty No. 9

EDIT: I did 2 short play-through videos on X2 recently, going to try and finish later this week.

god damn it bear, that's just creepy. SPOILER IT GDI!

Jet should really use this as his avatar.

There's another game coming out (if it's not already out) for download on the 3DS Nintendo E-Shop that's really similar to Mighty No. 9, and even has some collaboration scenes because it's made by the same guy.

I had that as my FB cover pic until I switched it to the bear with the flower yesterday

Unbearably adorable?

Why wasn't I invited to this slumber party?
