• “hai,” “baka,” and “hentai” come to your lips so easily that sometimes you have difficulty remembering what the English words are.
• none of your friends study Japanese, but thanks to you, they all have 50-word vocabularies.
• and if they used them in front of their moms, they’d get their mouths washed out with soap.
• you go native, to the point of buying Japanese rice in 20-pound bags and clearing all of the furniture out of your living room so you can sit on the floor.

• you have a Ranma outfit.
• and so does your significant other.
• you’re keeping an eye on your little sister for signs of slacking off during school, making eyes at the school’s only bishonen, and disappearing suspiciously often for “slumber parties,” because if she becomes a magic girl, you want in on the action.
• your friends stage an intervention.
• but only because they want your tapes.
• some poor ex-mugger still hears the words “LEKKA SHINEN!” in his nightmares.

• it’s not a bad hair day, it’s a Zelgadis hair day.
• your parents draw you aside and ask you whether you’re a Satanist, since all of those symbols you practice drawing in your notebooks look awfully suspicious to them.
• your kids think that cartoons are supposed to have writing at the bottom.

• you’ve tried to outdo Yakko’s singing of the dictionary by singing the Encylopedia. (Lynxan)
