* {{Bokukko}}: In Japan, a tomboyish girl who shows it off by referring to herself with the male versions of UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns and UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics. May lead to PronounTrouble. There is an analogous grammatical behavior among Hindi-speaking tomboys in India: they use masculine inflections on adjectives and certain verbs (e.g. ''rahaa'' vs ''rahee'') that refer to themselves as if they were male speakers. That is not as jarring as in Japanese, but it sounds peculiar.
