Koorifuu 1,019 Posted January 30 For whatever it's worth, there were murmurs online that Kankuro has regularly been harrassed by multiple other NSK members who are unhappy with his generally non-social disposition, and that they were provoking him into reacting against them, which finally happened. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinching someone's arm repeatedly seems a strange reaction, but who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps one or both of you are confusing him with Kimura Chishu, who has an actual conviction for domestic violence against his wife and child years ago. It was reported here on the forum, so unless your source can be certain maybe you'll consider deleting your post rather than let unsubstantiated rumours of such a serious nature remain. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kintamayama 45,495 Posted February 1 (edited) 5 hours ago, The Fat Cyclist said: I had to look it up One of the more popular words in Hebrew, taken from Russian. No word in English can explain this better than balagan. Balagan literally means disturbance or commotion or disorder, but those words don't capture the underlying current as well as balagan. The first word any tourist learns in Hebrew is balagan, because everything is in a constant state of balagan here. Not to be confused with bardak (Russian as well, literal translation is whorehouse) that has almost the same meaning.
