New Word in Japanese Lexicon: "Fly-Jin"

This just in from regular reader, Guy Jean. There's a new word in the Japanese lexicon for 2011: "Fly-Jin". I vote for this a best new word for the year!

Akiko Fujita tweets, Learned new term tonight: "Fly-Jin." Foreigners who fled Japan.


I wrote yesterday that the Japanese are not happy - some are disgusted -by the rash actions of the foreign community. They've lost much respect for those who fled like panic stricken kids. The back lash has begun. Whispered voices filled with derision and tittering behind people's backs.
