Calling someone stupid for asking a question is wrong, in school and at work they always said, even if the questions sound stupid, always asks it.
Like everyone said, what did she say exactly word for word, how did she say it, the tone of her voice and what I would like to know is, what was her facial expression and did she laugh a little and smile.
I have to agree with Uco because she explain and define the word gstupidh on how it is use within greater Tokyo and she explain how the Eastern parts of Japan do not use it.
Because Tokyo is a big city, youfre going to have people from the urban/ghetto community speaking street also known as gEbonics,h the professional way of saying it is urban. Everyone knows street talking coming from hip-hop, not just American hip-hop, this goes for Asian hip-hop, UK hip-hop South America hip-hop and ect. If I understand Uco post correctly, Uco use the word gstupidh in the Ebonics format in her example.
Ebonics = talking street and half of street language coming from the hip-hop and talking. In talking street is improper define as not in accordance with accepted rules or standards
If you use the word gstupidh while laughing after the person making a comment, just saying the word gstupidh or gyoufre stupidh while laughing using the Ebonics format the word gstupidh mean gsilly.h Depending on how you use it, when you use it, how well you know the person and ect.
FYI, back in the 1990fs, the work gstupidh mean cool, hot, awesome, example: those shoes are gstupidh where did you get them from. stupid in a high tone.
@Saru Bob, you use a great example and great point, thank you.
@David, I agree with you.
@ daai maou, I agree, gcontext is the keyh because both ghost mother calling someone stupid where there is no established relationship for using that term affectionately. Using "stupid" affectionately is on a whole other level than using "silly" affectionately.h
@Hmmm, you hit the nail on the head, gthey assume they can use it the same as baka or aho but stupid can be a strong word... To make it worse, they tend to be very bad at conveying proper tone, which is extremely important ti indicate that it is meant affecionately and jokingly vs being nasty.h thank you
In my opinion, if I asked Uco or anyone, where did you first hear the word gstupidh use like that meaning gstupidh meaning gsillyh I guarantee it was from a friend, where her friends picked it up from another friend who first heard it use from most likely a hip-hop music video.
By the way, people of Japan, when youfre speaking like this, you are speaking Ebonics.
