[19:52] <Moiraine> Dialogue: 0,0:18:48.08,0:18:51.04,Default,Kuchiki,0000,0000,0000,,I am going through completely peeled!*
[19:52] <Moiraine> Dialogue: 0,0:18:51.42,0:18:53.33,Default,Kuchiki,0000,0000,0000,,I declare being peeled for life!*
[19:52] <Moiraine> What does peeled mean?
[19:52] <buckybean> he's talking about his foreskin
[19:52] * Moiraine sighs.
[19:52] <timecop> what.
[19:52] <timecop> lul.
[19:52] * Moiraine cuts.
[19:52] <buckybean> I didn't know any english equivalent expressions
[19:52] <interactii> eh!?
[19:52] <Moiraine> Circumcised?
[19:52] <buckybean> so I used translated the word
[19:52] <buckybean> no, not circumcision
[19:52] <Moiraine> Um
[19:52] <Moiraine> Then what?
[19:53] * Moiraine cries.
[19:53] <interactii> you will have to describe what you mean then >____________>
[19:53] <buckybean> foreskin doesn't need to be sliced off
[19:53] <buckybean> ^ circumcision
[19:53] <timecop> lol details
[19:53] <interactii> yes, I know what circumcision is
[19:53] <buckybean> most of JP don't get circumcision
[19:53] <interactii> mhmm
[19:53] <buckybean> so phimosis is a big issue
[19:53] <interactii> yup
[19:54] <Moiraine> And know we enter the realm of things Raine knows nothing about.
[19:54] <buckybean> source of casual dirty jokes amongst boys/men
[19:54] <interactii> Yup
[19:54] <buckybean> right
[19:54] <interactii> so he's implying that he's maintained a clean penis?
[19:54] <buckybean> actually
[19:55] <buckybean> Tanaka's line after those 2 of Kuchiki sums it up
[19:55] <buckybean> he's retarded
[19:55] <laf> lol.
[19:55] <Moiraine> We can't use peeled dear.
[19:55] <interactii> Yeah but what is he trying to say?
[19:55] <Moiraine> B/c it is meaningless.
[19:55] <buckybean> I can't understand the implication
[19:55] <buckybean> like "why he said that" right?
[19:55] <Moiraine> No.
[19:55] <Moiraine> What he means.
[19:55] <interactii> No what he means
[19:56] <Moiraine> What does peeled mean?
[19:56] <buckybean> peeled foreskin
[19:56] <buckybean> retract
[19:56] <buckybean> pulled back
[19:56] <Moiraine> Ok.
[19:56] <Moiraine> Well, peeled means to remove skin.
[19:56] <buckybean> however you say it in english
[19:56] <Moiraine> Hence the confusion.
[19:56] <buckybean> peeled back?
[19:56] <Moiraine> That's better.
[19:56] <timecop> i bet Moiraine wishes we dropped this when it got licensed
[19:56] <timecop> :D
[19:57] <Moiraine> timecop: Yes.
[19:57] <Moiraine> I hate this show.
[19:57] <timecop> lolol
[19:57] <interactii> (this conversation will become a PR)
