Tanooki

The world's most versatile word.

Tanooki should be yelled during any and every situation. Fuck someone over? Tanooki. During sex? Cumming? Tanooki! While drinking? Fuck "cheers". Tanooki is where it's at.

In ancient Japanese lore, the Tanooki was a raccoon-like animal that had the ability to turn into stone when threatened by predators.

...Tanooki (sometimes spelled tanuki) is not pronounced ta-nu-kay, but ta-nu-kee.

I guess this is an easy mistake to make, since a lotta Japanese words end in "ay" that are usually pronouced "ee" in America. (like karate, usually pronounced ka-RA-tee, but should be ka-ra-teh; and the movie Princess Mononoke)

A god like creature capable of creating life and giving death.

A misspelling of tanuki. In America, and rest of the Anglophone world this is most likely due to the mistranslation in the video game Super Mario Brothers 3. The mistranslation may also have been intentional as it is easier for the English speaker to verbalise without a working knowledge of the Japanese langauge and pronunciation system.
