today I saw the word 大根 in a Japanese context; read it as Mandarin "dà gēn"; Cantonese "daai⁶ probably-sounds-like-gan", meaning "big root" and realized it was the word for "daikon" and i'm still riding off that high

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who know what daikon is and those who don't. I can't remember how I left the first group, but for some reason it's really hard to describe when someone asks. I guess no one expects a radish to look like that.
