Inori, I need your powers of perception

I don't know Japanese at all, but I made my sig using babelfish and the global IME. What does it say to you?

I will tell you what its supposed to say after you tell me what it ACTUALLY says.😊

You know, that character just before the second hyphen looks eerily similar to a smiley face. Just another deep thought from DarkDragoonX.

Hmm. If that thought was deep, what are my shallow thoughts like?

It says "I am well-dressed and sexy." (Smart, in Japanese, refers to dressing well.) But the grammar is a touch odd.

Yeah, babelfish is famous for odd grammer.

Anyways, that's basically what I was going for. hehe. I can't actually remember what I typed originally, but it was something like "Smart and sexy" or something.

Thanks Inori.😊

Ya know Inori with all the people asking you to interpret things you should start charging these people. 😉

Or better yet, lying to them.

Only thing is, that only lasts until someone else who speaks Japanese shows up and wonders why someone's sig says "I have ball-point pens in my orifices."

How is that any better than pens in orifices? hehe

Of course I have a friend who speaks Japanese at UT...so if I really felt something was translated properly...I'd go to him. But I trust inori with the translations.

Try this one on for size inori... if it even shows up...

EDIT: which it doesn't so nevermind :shrug:

Man, that is what I wanted in my sig! But I cannot translate the writing. That would be cool to have something funny like that. Maybe someone could make one for me, and we could scare away all of the Asian newbies lol
