Are you aware of what "Kaeru Gaman" "蛙我慢" means?

Gaman shiteiru kaeru no koto kana? Bempi no imi deshou ka? :mrgreen:

Couldn't help but notice it, not intending to troll though

google:

We are about to go home now.
Mou kaeru tokoro desu.

Endure, tolerate / have patience
gaman suru

I endured the pain
Itai no o gaman shita

I cannot tolerate the noise
Souon ga gaman (limit) dekinai

I have come to the end of my patience
Mou gaman no genkai desu

LOL :lol:

Kaeru in the poem means "to go home" (帰る) but the Kaeru in the Kanji Pic on Kaeru Gaman's post means "Frog" (蛙)

I was trying to figure out what the "Enduring Frog" was all about which is why I posted this. :shock: Something to do with constipation I was suspecting ;)

I'm starting to understand now!
