Je vais commencer cette liste par de nouveaux mots apparus dans le lexique des "japanese ladies"
IPPAIYOKU (Plenty of Desires) -- is used to describe women who have developed an affinity for only a single designer label, with all their clothes and accessories being of the same brand, unlike the rainbow of choices most made in the money days of the late '80s and early '90s.
OKAME SAN (Masculine Woman) -- a woman who acts like a man.
KAKO BIJIN (Past Beauty) -- a woman who would have been called a beauty if she had been born in an earlier age. Kako Bijin tend, Sunday Mainichi says, to go on about how they would have been popular with guys if they had been born in the Heian Era (794-1194).
KESSHO OTOSHI TAKUSHII (Make-up Remover Taxi) -- a taxi offering a service where a beautician will have a woman remove her make-up. Many women, particularly in their 20s and 30s, are screaming out for a service like this, the weekly says.
KONDO UMU KEIKAKU (Pregnancy Now Plan) -- a play on the words for "condom" (kondomu) and "give birth" (kondo umu) used to describe how women over 35 deliberately have unprotected sex in the hope of conceiving.
3H (The Three Hs) -- stands for hada (skin), hana (nose) and ha (teeth) and express the widely held desire to make sure body hair doesn't stand out, the nose even slightly more prominent and teeth straighter.
TOIRE BIJITSUKAN (Toilet Art Gallery) -- used to describe beautifully decorated home toilets equipped with pleasant fragrances and packed with plenty of reading materials. Toire Bijitsukan are apparently wildly popular among single women in their 30s.
NAKAYOSHI NINPU (Buddy Pregnancy) -- a trend where women deliberately get pregnant at the same time as a friend so they can go through the process together.
BOINRYOKU (Maternal Instinct Power) -- a conjunction of mother (bo) and boldness (goin) used to describe how women can use their maternal instincts and the power of motherhood to break through the patriarchal hold over society.
MINEKO KON (Mineko Marriage) -- named after singer Mineko Nishikawa, who gave up her career after marrying a guy living in a remote island, and used to describe women who forfeit glitzy lives in the city in favor of a quiet life married to somebody from the country.
MEMORIARU SEKUSURESU (Memorial Sexless) -- a term used for normally sexless couples who decide to go in for a little bit of slap and tickle on momentous occasions, such as anniversaries or to mark such occasions as their team winning a sports championship.
YUBISAKI BIJIN (Fingertip Beauty) -- a woman who pays an enormous amount of attention to her fingers, applying flamboyant nail polish or nail art.
RIKONMIMI NENZO (Divorce Talk Generation) -- those women inspired to consider ending a marriage because they hear a lot of talk about how much happier their friends have become since getting a divorce. Mainly describes women in their late 30s.
RENNAI KONENKI (Love Menopause) -- the age when women's sex drive starts to decline and they forget about things like love. The rennai konenki usually starts around 33, with one in four women in their 30s losing their libido and one in three becoming disinterested in romance.
WAKABAASAN (Young Grandmother) -- women who've given up on the idea of marriage, but not childbirth, according to Sunday Mainichi. They apparently stand out in contrast to Young Mamas women who have children at an early age and instead accept the idea of growing old while they're still young. They're apparently susceptible to the idea of adoption or marrying divorced men with children.
