Despite having a very limited number of sounds, Japanese is awash with words that
would make an English speaker snigger. There again, we English speakers do have a
tendency to find double entendres in practically any phrase we hear, so the same

Shitto
(Jealousy)
|
|
Wanko
(Child's word for dog)
|
|
Aasu
(The earth wire on a plug)
|
|
Kokku
(A cook)
|
|
Tossa
(In an instant)
|
|
Kinki Nippon Tsu-risuto
(The Kinki Region Tourist Board)
|

And finally, the amazing word that causes a snigger in both Britain AND Japan... |
