Sometimes you just can't find the right word to describe something uniquely Japanese. Thus, I have created the following words for the first Japan Lite Dictionary for foreigners in Japan.
Pedabrell: Riding your bicycle in pouring rain while holding an umbrella.
Engaway: The gradual erosion of native-English speaking ability proportionate to the time spent in Japan. Speech becomes slower, words more deliberate and repeating entire sentences is common.
