   Kanji = chinese-derived logograph. Combine with hiragana and   
   katakana, and you've got a complete writing system.   
      
   Romaji = romanized japanese   
      
   "Sanshou" might mean "three cheers", or "japanese pepper". I   
   have no idea how to write it or use it in a sentence,   
   though. I recommend trying it, and gauging the reactions.   
   More fun that way.   
      
   And in China, it's a martial art. But everything means   
   something weird or embarrasing in Chinese. I wish those guys   
   would buy some extra syllables.
