| Japanese | English | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ゆっくりしていってね | Take it easy | In Japanese, it literally means "Do it slowly". The word "yukkuri" technically means "slowly", not "easy". It just so happens that "easy" manages to work in a lot of the same contexts. |
| お兄さん, おにいさん, おにーさん | Mister | It's actually "Big brother". The "ーさん" suffix works the same way as the "Mister" prefix; e.g. ごはんさん = Mister Food. |

| としあき, 〜あき | Toshiaki, -aki | In the early days of 2chan (Futaba Channel), there was a troll named Toshiaki that got infamous enough that the mods changed the default names of posters to "Toshiaki" for a time.
