moshi moshi

Definition

The standard Japanese telephone greeting that literally means "hello" but specifically for phone calls. It's how you answer the phone in Japan, repeated twice because apparently one "moshi" wasn't emphatic enough. Using it in English makes you either a weeb or someone who actually speaks Japanese—context is everything.

Example Usage

I answered the call with "moshi moshi" and my friend immediately knew I'd been binge-watching anime again.

songfight

An online music competition where artists create original songs based on a provided title, submit them for public consumption, and let the internet decide who wins through democratic voting. It's like American Idol meets crowdsourcing meets creative chaos. This beautiful experiment in collaborative creativity proves that nothing motivates artists quite like the possibility of internet strangers judging them.
