Japanese OS/2 Waku-Waku Quote
Overheard “I get waku-waku when I turn on my PC.”—JAPANESE OS/2 USER IN OS/2 WARP PROMOTIONAL VIDEO (We cordially invite any Japanese speaker to send in a coherent definition of waku-waku. Be sure to label your entry “Attention: Waku-waku.”)
A humorous “Overheard” quotation claims that a Japanese OS/2 user gets “waku-waku” when turning on a PC. The joke mocks an allegedly incomprehensible promotional-video phrase and invites readers to define the Japanese expression, using exaggeratedly formal wording and repetition for absurd effect.
