Shime Shime (しめしめ)

What kind of terms do you say when something go as planned and you rejoice at it secretly.

In such a case, you can say "shime shime" (しめしめ) in Japan.

"Shime shime" is a term made by overlapping the Japanese verb, "shimeru" (占める), which means to occupy something.

For example, it is used like "shime shime, umakuittazo" (しめしめ、うまくいったぞ), which means just something like "Thank God, my plan is working."

Actually, I often heard this term especially in manga, but recently it may not have been used very much.

「しめしめ」は、占有するという意味の動詞「占める」を重ねて作られた言葉です。

以前は漫画などでよく見かけましたが、最近ではあまり耳にしなくなった気がします。
