FUJOSHI

                                           February 24, 2011

  Fujoshi is one of the funniest
  terms I've stumbled across in         SHOJOS_DESCENT
  the otaku universe...

  It means a woman who's a fan of
  "yaoi", i.e. who likes fantasizing         (The Japanese got to the
  about male homerotic relationships.         "Broke Back Mountain"
                                              stage a long time ago.)

     There's a word *like* "fujoshi"
     that just means something like
     "lady", but by tweaking the first
     syllable, it turns it into a
     reference to "rotteness" (as in
     "stinky tofu")...

     It literally means something
     like "rotten girl".
