Come ladies and gents,
One and all,
to see this miraculous show!
In the red corner, spotting the strangely eccentric cat ears, is Skiv!!!
*sign flashes: Applause!!!*
And in the blue corner we have her challenge? What, oh what will it be? It turns out to be...
*dramatic pause*
"A WORD PROBLEM!!! Yes, that's right!" *cheesy grin with way too much enthusiam in the voice*
"And your problem is...
Find out what 'hakuro teria neko' means!"
And if you win... you get the opportunity to win a real authentic, mouse drawn Golden Star created masterfully by the widely supremed artist on this site.
Can't guess who that modest (charming, and handsome as well might I add) genuis may be? Why... yours truly of course!
*sign says: Applause*
*Show starts*

Blinks at the many lights shining in her eyes.
"Thanks Oz, I think... I know that 'Neko' means 'Cat' in Japanese, but the rest has me stumped."

Y'all can thank TEO for the 'neko' bit, haha. Do I get a third of a star?
'Hakuro,' according to a Google search, means something about morning dew, though I could be dead wrong.
'Teria' can be a suffix in Spanish that can turn words into meaning 'store'.
This doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to be, but I dunno WHY you need to know this, still.

"Teria" also seems to mean "it would" or something in Portuguese, and "Hakuro" also seems to be a kind of Japanese tea... But morning dew sounds more plauseable.
I should have the answer by tonight! *sits down in her cornor muttering darkly about crafty Italian people*

Hakuro means "morning dew", teria means "terrier", and neko means "cat"; all in Japanese.
Where did you come up with this phrase? Where did you hear it, Skiv?

I'm wondering too, since she's been pondering it since Sunday night, as far as I know.
Who exactly are these crafty Italians? Not Miss Freda Twoguns or Tansy Six-Shot, I'd expect. Or Fat Louie.
*eyes dart*

No no, merely the last in the blood line of the biggest maffia in Chicago.
I kid you not.
But someone shouted it at me, over the internet, and I must find out what it means. The cat part makes sense, the morning dew part does I guess... But the other bit, not so much.
Rawr, as I said, I'll have it translated by tonight.

Huzzah, the first two are not, in fact, Japanese. They're words from some random language that I don't remember.
So it's all good now. Thanks everyone!

It means what Ahrar said, 'cept the teria or whatever part. That means earth (in Italian I think). And... And... *shifty eyes* Yeah!
