 Japanese Department Store May Want to Look Up the Word ‘f***ing’ If only we could have sat in on the meeting where the marketing team for this Osaka department store came up with the idea for their "f***in' Sale," spotted early this month by a reader of Jake Adelstein's Japan Subculture blog.
-There should be some cool English words on these signs.
-How about "f***in' Sale?"
-What's that mean?
-f***in' means, like, really good. So it's a really good sale.
-And there's no other meaning to "f***in'? Nothing at all that might embarrass us on the internet? Remember what happened with our Save-a-S**t-Ton promotion…
