chinpunkanpun

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.08.26

There's a word in Japanese, "chimpunkanpun"「ちんぷんかんぷん」. According to a dictionary, it means "unintelligible language; incoherent language; talking nonsense; "all Greek to me"; double Dutch; (something) incomprehensible; babble; gibberish; jargon; gobbledygook;".

I've re-named our kids accordingly.

Chinpun
Kanpun

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
