Hawaiian word of the day

[nalani]

*making conversation whilst awaiting the hua 'olelo o ka la*
I should get the scores on Monday ... I only crashed and burned on one final that I know of ... bastard finals .. LOL

 

[PT]

It always seemed to me that the ones you think you crashed and burned on are the ones you end up getting this ridiculously high score on.

 

[kuulani]

^^that's nalani ... she always thinks she pulls stuff out of her @$$, then she goes and gets an "A" on everything okay, so with that in mind ... it's time for an anatomy lesson ...

the cheek area is called 'elemu, while the actual ... er, hole ... is the 'okole.

A band here mixed up those definitions and wrote a song titled "Sweet 'Okole" ... I don't think that's what they meant

 

[PT]

Ok, so is asshole 'elemu'okole?

Just wanting to clarify.

 

[kuulani]

no, just 'okole

 

[PT]

Mahalo, Coo ooh,

btw, Nice 'elemu

 

[nalani]

I hate when people - even Hawaiians - mix up those words *shudder*

*claps at PT's using the word in a sentence correctly*

 

[PT]

I'm guessing that 'elemu is not dirty, but 'okole is?

 

[halamikage]

Wow PT. I'm impressed, you're doing really good at this Hawaiian language stuff.

So Kumu Ku'u, are we having a test later?

By the way, kumu means "teacher."

 

[nalani]

I'm guessing that 'elemu is not dirty, but 'okole is?

you're right .. and sometimes, it's quite literal

 

[PT]

Well then, did you see my use of the words? I'm Really Proud of This.

 

[nalani]

ooohh.... I need to start thinking of rewards for you, PT

 

[kuulani]

i'm proud of you too

you've used your words correctly

 

[nalani]

hey ku'u .. you should post a pic of the almight pupa!

 

[Gato_Solo]

So one would never eat the 'elemu of the nene?

 

[kuulani]

^^eew.

...and in honor of that, today's word is pailua.

Pailua (pie-loo-ah) = gross

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

*pulls on kuu's sleeve*

kuuuuuuuu... what's "cheese"??

 

[kuulani]

jus' for ash ...

cheese = waiüpa'a, literally ... "hard milk"

 

[nalani]

^^bump^^

 

[Squiggy]
