ボケ on left and ツッコミ on right.

That's crazy, my wife explained this to me last night. I never watch TV so I don't really watch comedians. I always make oyaji gyagu though so I'm clearly a ボケモン.

It's funny because up until now I always called myself "ボケっとる" (ボケている) because I'm very forgetful... ironically it carried a double meaning about myself that I didn't know about haha.

Two: Snow monster

Three: Cross dresser or transvestite!

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. I guess ボケ sounds kind of like ばか, so that can be a good mnemonic.

We used to have a pair stereotype like that in the US. Abbott and Costello is the most famous example.
YouTube - Who's on first?
Their most famous routine—called "Who's on First." It's hilarious and an amazing amount of puns are involved.

you know what.
simply watch movies if you want to learn any language. also music. thats the best way to learn the everyday language. words like prom and etc.
i have not seen a movie in my native tounge for atleast 4 years. only whatched them in english. same goes for music. and what happened? i scored amog top 100 in my countys 12th grade english exams, besides i didnt attend atleast half of my english leasons. at least half - i feel i should stress this... and because of all the movies i had seen i did great. also i didnt prepare for international certificate in english - IELTS (like TOIFEL only more aimed for europe) and got 8 out of 9.

this is my suggestion for those who have time on their hands. not only you will learn the language but also cultures, tradtitions and etc.

im saying this because it works..works for me and i hope it will work for you.

What's that got to do with the thread?

[evanny]

well the maker of the thread asked about everyday language that its native users my use - in this case prom... so for the people who do not want to make a damn topic every time they dont understand something and also want to learn more at the time should simply whatch more movies.
P.S o. and the maker is you.
P.P.S basicly im giving a tip on how to learn those words.
