Hmm.... My GF would kill me if I wore that one.


I'll stick to this one.

So...what DO they mean?

So...what DO they mean?

"Hen Tai Hen Tetsu No Hito" literally it means "Deviating Commonplace Person"
but in this context it would figuratively translate into "Everyday Pervert" or "Low Life Deviant" in English.

Does posting that T Shirt violate Martialtalk's G Rating? I believe it does. I believe the moderators need to stand firm together and SUSPEND Kaith for posting such filth on Martialtalk.

Really, I'm flaberghasted.

Interesting. Where I got it from indicated it said "Iron Hentai", and listed it as a parody of "Iron Chef".

My apologies if anyone was offended, but I honestly don't see the big deal, either way.

 

[Don Roley]

Actually,
There are two different ways of writing "tetsujin." One way is the way you are thinking of and means "iron person" or "person of iron will." The other way is what is on the t-shirt and it means a wise man of high charecter and morals.

I translate this thing as saying "A wise/accomplished pervert".

But there is no "iron" charecter in it.

If one does a google search on "Iron Hentai" (include the quotes) you will see a number of links to places selling that tee shirt, hense my mistaken belief that it said what I thought it said. Thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding.

Oh well, either way, it's still a suitable shirt for Kaith!

haha...this all reminds me of a story...i have a baseball cap with taekwondo written on it in korean...and one day someone asked me what it said...so i tell them, "it means taekwondo" and they were like, "how do you know?"....

i just looked at them and realized....i really don't...i don't speak or read korean...i can recognize taekwondo in korean...but how do i know that isn't some sort of huge practical joke that they are playing on the western world...

I think Kaith's shirt is an example of someone trying to get back at the Western world for all the stuff listed here:
