Cletus' First Collegiate Dictionary of Japanese Chin Music
Anime
An abbreviated form of “animation.” In Japan, the term applies to all forms of animation – crude or sophisticated – from Doraemon to Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. In English, anime has come to be known as a Japanese invention, with its colorful and highly stylized form of animation and story lines that are often violent. Before the term anime entered the Japanese vocabulary, illustrated characters – animated or otherwise – were referred to as manga.
arigato gozaimasu
Thank you, polite form. Add dohmo to the front, and you have "thank you very much." In a more casual setting, you can say, "Dohmo arigato" (like in that Styx song), and among friends you can just say, "Dohmo." If you say, "Dohmo, dohmo," you will sound like a salaryman. And if you say, "Doomi arigati," you will sound like the mayor of Hayward, California, in 1986, as he addressed the student body at Ichiritsu Funabashi High School.
arubaito
Part-time work. Comes from the German word for work, arbeit. We wonder if this makes Germans mad.
