Ah, no. I recognized part of the reference to a well known US TV show. So knew the first syllable. Don’t recognize the whole word at all. Off to look it up for myself.

EDIT: Can see why I should have known it! Shame on me!

I used to love watching sumo on the TV. The wonderful ritual of the referee throwing salt everywhere!

We had a superb commentator at the time. I must tell you the joke about Hashimoto and his "pressibendo".

I confess, in 17 years in Japan I’ve never been to a sumo tournament. Don’t tell Kiwias.
