    An example of the English terms provided for a Japanese word meaning “good friends” [親友] from the ALC’s Eijiro Japanese-to-English dictionary [via JapanSoc]:

    I understand the need to inform language learners about certain slang terms, but it would probably be more useful if ALC didn’t use alphabetical order and placed more commonly-used translations before terms such as “asshole buddy” and “ace boon coon.”
