Katakana is awesome

After trolling the internet for a while (read: I searched Wikipedia) here are some of my favorite Katakana phrases I've found:

ヴァージンロード (vājinrōdo) - (The aisle in a wedding ceremony)

ウーパールーパー  (ūpārūpā): An axolotl. My favorite amphibian.

I mean, look how cute these little guys are: 

Also, how fun is that to say? Uupaaruupaa

Little known fact: the mudkip (pokemon) was actually based on these.

For more reading: see Julio Cortazar's short story, Axolotl.

While I'm on the subject:

ﾎﾟｹﾓﾝ (Pokemon)

And finally, an English loan word that actually describes its subject better than the original English word:

プラスドライバー (purasudoraibaa) - Phillips head screw driver
