What are some loan-words the Japanese use from english that are really strange choices?

Like "high tension!", isn't there a Japanese equivalent?

I didn't assume they "only" take words from English. I just didn't know that was the German pronunciation of energy. Sorry. Seriously. I didn't "cast the first stone." You got all buttfrustrated because someone didn't recognize a word as German.

If it's any consolation, I know about the word arbeit being German, but I didn't know this one. Someone's lack of knowledge is not always an attack on you, faglet.

Calling people "dick", "faglet" and using all those other curse words is an attack, though. All because I informed you you made a really common mistake. Someone's knowledge is not always an attack on you. Though if you don't want to get an answer, there's a solution - don't ask.

>Not this shit again.
You used curse words first, so don't even try and pull that garbage on me.
It's not that I didn't want an answer. It's that you were an asshole about the answer and then when I called you on it, you started crying and calling me a woman and stuff. So seriously, take that shit and shove it so far up your stupid yuropoor superiority complex-having ass and then suck my cock, dude.

You are honestly completely fucking pathetic. "Not this shit again" is not a directed insult. It is a sign of exasperation.

>It's that you were an asshole about the answer
Well too fucking bad. Cry me a river, pussy. Oh wait, you already did.
