KENNY gets eaten to death by a big dog (he's that red dot there!)
 |
| いぬ |
dog
★★★★★ |
| 子犬 | |
| 負け犬 |
loser
★★☆☆☆
Since it literally means 'losing dog,' you'd think that was a transliteration of the English 'underdog,' But no, it simply means loser or schlemiel. Japan doesn't really have much respect for plucky underdogs who dare to try and rise above their status. |
