Kengka-goshi and Yowa-goshi
In my post yesterday, I used the Japanese term kenka-goshi (喧嘩腰), which means an attitude that you are about to start a fight/quarrel.
Since kenka means "fight/quarrel" and goshi/koshi (腰) means "waist," the literal meaning of kenkagoshi is "a fight waist."
This is because the waist portion looks characteristics when getting ready for a fight.
Contrary to kenka-goshi, there is another term yowa-gosi (弱腰), which means a bearish or negative attitude.
Since yowa (弱) means "weak," the literal meaning of yowa-goshi is "a weak waist."

喧嘩腰と弱腰
昨日の投稿の中で、私は喧嘩をはじめようとする態度を意味する「喧嘩腰」という言葉を用いました。
「喧嘩」は "fight/quarrel"、「腰」は "waist" を意味するので、「喧嘩腰」の文字どおりの意味は "a fight waist" となります。
これは、喧嘩をしかけようと身構えるとき、腰に特徴が見られるためであると考えられます。
また「喧嘩腰」とは逆に、弱気な態度や消極的な態度を表す言葉に「弱腰」があります。
「弱」は "weak" を意味するので、「弱腰」の文字どおりの意味は "a weak waist" となります。
