Japanese Body Language - Things you can say with your head
Over the past few days I have shared things that the Japanese can say with their heads.
Here are a few more. Though I confess to never having heard or used them.
頭割り[あたまわり, atama-wari] sharing expenses
頭を抑える[あたまをおさえる, atama o osaeru] keep under one’s thumb; keep someone under control; restrain somone
頭を刈る[あたまをかる, atama o karu] have one’s hair cut
頭をはねる[あたまをはねる, atama o haneru] take money on the side; be on the take
頭をもたげる[あたまをもたげる, atama o motageru] rise into prominence
頭株[あたまかぶ, atama-kabu] leader, chief, head, executive
Have you ever heard them used?
Give one a try and see what kind of response you get from your Japanese friend.
I can remember doing this often, using words just to see what kind of reaction I got.
Sometimes, however, I got responses I did NOT want.
