Reminds me of someone who have the Chinese word for "refrigerator" on his right shoulder, and when Chinese people would point and laugh about it, he would roll up his sleeve from his left shoulder where there is a tattoo of a fridge

I knew lemmy would get it! Didn't expect the picture instead of just name dropping the good place. Way to go above and beyond.

日語 happens to mean Japanese Language, in both written Chinese and Japanese.

Same for 日本人 (Japanese Person)

日語 technically means Japanese language in Japanese, but no one ever uses it-- I think it's an outdated usage. Everyone uses 日本語 these days.
