はちきん (hachikin)
This is a word in Tosa-ben, the local dialect in Kochi prefecture. The etymology is "hachi," eight, and "kin," gold... apparently that leads to "eight golden balls" (I don't know where the balls come from). It means a strong woman.
What is the deal with women having to have balls to be strong? It bugs me. I don't want any male anatomy, thank you very much.
I taught English for about 7 hours today and now my voice is cracking and I turned down a chance to go dancing with new cool acquaintances because I am sooooo tired. Too bad.
