The sign underneath says “If you shoplift, you will become like this”
Don’t threaten me with a good time!!!
promise?
This is my first encounter with the word 万引き, and the fact I never would have expected it to mean “shoplifting” despite knowing both those kanji individually sent me down a bit of an etymology rabbit hole:
Originally 間引き (まびき, “thinning out [seedlings]”), applied euphemistically to a store’s inventory. The pronunciation had shifted to まんびき by 1831, and 万 in the modern form is purely phonetic.
Oh that’s neat, I just assumed the meaning was it’s someone just running out with a cartful of stuff, but it seems the original meaning was to sneakily take out pieces from the spaces.
Shibeari
I almost kinda think those two traits tend to come packaged together.
Unfortunately, the shy part often feels like that, yeah. It makes it so hard to find likeminded people :c
Oooh you mean you are looking for shy peeps who aren’t kinky or maybe aroace? orrr am I getting thos wrong?
no, I’m looking for people who are kinky, but I’m shy and I guess a lot of them are shy too, so it’s hard to find them qwq
OOOOH you are looking for lingy peeps who are not shy but with more confident or leading kinda vibes?
hmmm yeaaaa I can see that. I do also believe however that shy peeps are just more willing to share their kinky stuff than not shy peeps becauseeee its a vulnerable thing ~
Here I am just trying to improve my flexibility, and these sick fucks gotta make it about kink. Sigh. Shit never ends, man. Shit never ends.
