Japanese-speaking-people(Naruki?): by winsmith 2004-03-09 09:14:49
I've heard a strange rumour today. A friend told me that a friend of a friend of an uncle of a colleage etc etc told him that the word "Nissan" is japanese for either "twenty-three" or "Big Brother", depending on the pronounciation. Is there any truth to that?
