Maggie-sensei's lessons

Today I remembered randomly the site run by Maggie Sensei, a great place to learn different cultural and social aspects of daily life in Japan. There's also quite a bit of useful slang there, too.

I happened upon a song by  植村花菜, Kana Uemura, called トイレの神様 Toire no Kamisama, Goddess in the Toilet (title is a clickable link to Maggie Sensei's entry). As usual, she goes in-depth and I love that. If you're stuck looking for slang translations, Maggie Sensei may be your ticket.

If your Japanese is good enough, you can also check out 日本語俗語辞書 at http://zokugo-dict.com/ for explanations (in Japanese) of various common slang words (aka, zokugo). I learned about "KY" from it lol.
