"Sexy" My wife is sexy. Ursula Andress is sexy. Straights are not sexy...what is it with this word? Everyone wants to apply it to everything from a sports car to a tooth brush.

Over used and misused words are one thing I'm spared from here. However, the Japanese tend to overuse some of their words like you couldn't believe.
おいしい - oishii = tastes good
すごい - sugoi = great/horrific
If you watch the tv or go out with someone you'll hear them about 500 times a day. 500!
I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!
