I’ve been wondering (instead of studying XD ) why is the online textbook called “Textfugu?” I mean, I get the text- part, but I have to ask……why the fish? Any ideas?
November 6, 2011 at 1:35 pm #20562Howdy,
I’m not quite sure myself (I’m a newcomer here), but Koichi-sensei has another website called tofugu which, I believe, predates this one. If I understand correctly ‘to’ is some sort of possessive particle. “My blowfish”. Meh.
Z-man
November 6, 2011 at 7:22 pm #20567Ohh yeah I forgot about tofugu being the predecessor! Makes more sense now
November 7, 2011 at 9:51 am #20597TextFugu is yet another extension of the Fugu brand. Besides Tofugu and TextFugu, we have plans in the works for StarFugu (a Starcraft 2 site), LunchFugu (a Yelp competitor), and FuguFugu (a site all about blowfish).
Well, maybe not.
November 7, 2011 at 4:14 pm #20616LunchFugu? Sounds dangerous. Aren’t you supposed to have trained for seven years and have a government issued license in order to LuchFugu? =P
On a side note, do you prefer to be addressed as はしくん、 はしさん、or はしさま? =)
(you know, I’m really beginning to like the honorifics system)
ザカリ
November 7, 2011 at 8:16 pm #20632さん is fine. さま is basically reserved for the emperor of Japan (and Koichi).
November 7, 2011 at 10:16 pm #20634I’m such a rebel that I’m just going to stay with Hashi, romanized without any honorifics… I’m getting the guillotine, aren’t I? Anyhow, on the topic of the Tofugu name; I remember Koichi mentioning that it’s a portmanteau of Tofu and Fugu, ya know, because: Tofu + Fugu = Tofugu. The logo on the Tofugu site is kind of shaped like tofu too, then again, it’s just a square shape, so that might just be up to your IMAAAAAGINATION.
EDIT: Change the Starcraft site’s name into Gosufugu, and use Starfugu for a chain of stores that sells coffee and other caffeinated drinks.-
