Nekojita (猫舌) – Cat Tongue If you’re like me, then you have a “cat tongue” (nekojita, 猫舌). What does that mean? That expression is used for people who cannot drink burning hot stuff and need to wait until it has cooled down quite a bit. I always hated the fact that I cannot drink something immediately, but once I heard that Japan has such a cute word for it, I was ok with it. ;P Do you have a nekojita? Neko wo kaburu. (猫を被る。) Literally it means wearing a cat (like wearing a cat costume / mask), but it’s like saying “butter wouldn’t melt in his / her mouth”. You’re trying to look innocent by wearing a cat costume? Hm. Interesting. cute emoticon laugh
