My parents, the pod people Chapter 2

[mizarchivist]

So.
I believe I have mentioned in the past that my parents are working hard on getting ... well, a yap dog. Originally would have been a pug, but the creature was so inbred that it wasn't really an option- already had osteoporosis and bad digestive stuff. Uhhh great.

SO! Here's their latest idea:
Japanese Spitz:

And they're trying to come up with a name. *SNERK*
Now, given it's a Japanese dog, it should have a Japanese name, don't you think? I don't know any Japanese beyond the way basics.
If anyone knows more than I do and can think of some really inappropriate yet short Japanese words for that creature, lemme know.
I was thinking of Vlad, Destroyer of Worlds, but I can't picture either parent calling from the back door that particular set of syllables.
Seriously. If any of you know something, lemme know.

That's not a dog, that's a dustmop with pretentions of being a carnivore.

Hi There!

I know a teensy bit of Japanese.

If it's a white dog, like the one in the picture, you could call it Yuki, which means "snow". I don't know what other colors those dogs come in.

You were probably going for a name more like Urusai, meaning "noisy, annoying". :P

Urusai is definitely more what I was a-thinkin'

"natto"

If you want to know what it is, ask dr_memory.

Are you kiddin'?

I watch Iron Chef. I know what natto is. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen right up there with "Aaaaaan-Ko" (anglerfish).
Therefore, if I ever see the crud in the restaurant, I can avoid it like the plague :-)

I'm still not seeing why it's not a viable option. :)

And everybody say... Yatta!

I vote for "Yatta". I "THINK" it means Irrational Exuberance, which describes most dogs.

See if you agree....
