| | :::: I'm not terribly familiar with the term, but judging from the WP article, it's a sort of set phrase used as a lead-in for a specific something else, which can sometimes be used as a stand-in for that something. I can sort of see why someone thought it might be useful to have such a category, but I have no idea how many such terms there might be. Shogakukan's J-J dictionary goes into ancient poetic forms, making me think this isn't too common in the modern language (which might also help explain how I've missed hearing about these before now). -- HTH, [[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr Útlendi]] | <small style="position: relative; top: -3px;">''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala við mig]]''</small> 16:22, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | | :::: I'm not terribly familiar with the term, but judging from the WP article, it's a sort of set phrase used as a lead-in for a specific something else, which can sometimes be used as a stand-in for that something.

| | + | ::::: Maybe a bit. Reading around on the term, it sounds more like cases where you've got a set intro, like, "there once was a man from Nantucket", that comes to represent the bit coming after -- in this case, just saying "a man from Nantucket" calls to mind ribald jokes, and I think this might be more the kind of association meant by {{term|makurakotoba}}. -- [[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr Útlendi]] | <small style="position: relative; top: -3px;">''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala við mig]]''</small> 16:24, 28 September 2011 (UTC) |
