Japan — Phrase #3

😂#3 Creative Genius

このタコ (Kono tako)

kono tako

Literal: You octopus

Feels like: "You octopus" — an animal insult implying someone is flailing around uselessly. More dated and comedic than contemporary street language; you'll encounter it in older media more than modern speech. Charming rather than cutting
