Cheese I&#39;ll help...I know "Karate" and 18 other Chinese words&#33;

Oh yes, you&#39;ll be a big help.

Karate is Japanese, BTW. [/b][/quote]
Don&#39;t blame me...I had a t-shirt with that on it a long time ago.

don&#39;t know, I think maybe Old Spice was a bit more upmarket than the other two - you can probably pick up a bottle in lidl&#39;s.

Close, but no banana.

The word karate is a combination of two Japanese characters: kara, meaning empty, and te, meaning hand; thus, karate means "empty hand." Adding the suffix "-do" (pronounced "doe"), meaning "way," i.e., karate-do, implies karate as a total way of life that goes well beyond the self-defense applications. In traditional karate-do, we always keep in mind that the true opponent is oneself.

Well...SnnY...
1 out of 2 ain&#39;t bad.

Yep, but those characters are kanji (from the chinese "han", han-ji really), in this case characters which were taken directly from chinese.

Or so I&#39;ve been told.

cough up the banana.
