Sugoi

I e-mailed a cartoon to my Japanese editor who replied “Sugoi!” which can mean, depending of the situation:

1. great
2. amazing
3. terrific
4. dreadful
5. terrible
6. punch me in the crotch!

Want to torture an artist: use a word that can mean both “Awesome” or “Awful” and let them figure out which one.  😉
