Now flying at the speed of internet

流言蜚語
ryuu.gen.hi.go

Literally: flow – word – cockroach – speech

Alternately: Baseless rumors. Canards.

Notes: The rare character 蜚 may be replaced with homophone 飛 (“fly”), but why would you want to do that?

About Confanity

I love the written word more than anything else I've had the chance to work with. I'm back in the States from Japan for grad school, but still studying Japanese with the hope of becoming a translator -- or writer, or even teacher -- as long as it's something language-related.
