He Says:
gero (げろ)=(vomit)
Osakan people sometimes just say "ge" for that. Usually Japanese people are weaker about alcohol than Americans, so their faces turn to red easily with a few glass of alcohol, and if you insist them to drink more, they would vomit easily. So in a bar in Japan, sometimes there is a spot to vomit in the rest room for such drunks. Especially Friday or Saturday night's rest room in bar is dangerous for vomit in Japan. I used to see jp guys sleeping facing the vomitting spot.
Japanese people are usually soft-hearted, so they are hard to say no. If you ask japanese people to drink more, most of them would drink more than their limit, and they vomit...it's gero!So be careful when you drink with japanese, and ask them their limit first, otherwise you would have to carry them home!
She Says:
Ew. I don't think I've ever seen a special vomiting place in a girl's bathroom.
I suppose I'm pretty lucky that none of my friends have ever gotten this drunk.
The next word is...へこきむし。
