Really? That's the only sense I've ever heard it in.

Yeah same here. Also that was the reason for the name of the aircraft Spitfire... Small, energetic and can be mean. (I have never heard anyone outside of a British person use the word though.)

It's the reverse for me; I only know it in its "bad-tempered, violence-prone woman" sense.

I usually hear it as "wrong woman to cross" kind of meaning. Likely to be substituted for the word "spunk" in You Got Spunk! lines.

When used for little girls or little boys it will still mean "energetic".

So shall we use the top 3 redirect in the crowner?

If we nuke the existing three, sure. Six would be too many, and the existing redirects are pretty much useless.

Looking at the redirects..... So Oranyan is the male version of Tsundere? I really have never heard the term before. I dont exactly frequent (understatement.) BL circles though.

Nevermind, I don't think that could work with the coding.

Thread may have moved on, but I've only heard "spitfire" as being spirited at the least, violently bitchy at worst, not energetic, beyond the basic requirements of being aggressive.

When I hear spitfire, I think of a plane. Is that just me?

The thing with Caring Yet Abrasive is that it makes me think of more a Jerk with a Heart of Gold character, one who actually cares, but hides that behind an abrasive exterior. It doesn't make me think of someone who switches between acting caring and acting abrasive.

I hate Bitter Sweet Heart. Bitter doesn't make me think of abrasive, it makes me think of someone washed up with love or angry that she was spurned or something.

Really, the only criteria is "Would people search for the concept using these words?"; it can be misleading as all get out if the answer's "yes".

Does this forum support Japanese? It probably does.

So get out your Rikaichan (ignore this post if you don't know what it is): (I put the definitions below)

つんつん (aloof, morose, pointed)

でれでれ (exhausted, lovestruck, logy, fawning, mooning)

This trope (Tsundere) is nothing more than those two, together. As I thought, it goes over that in the first paragraph of the description.

If you look at the other wiki, it says it means changing from cold to hot over time. I'm not sure I agree with that.

[up]That's the original meaning, which has been obsolete for quite some time.

And by that, he means the Other Wiki's definition that you mentioned.

Directly translating terms doesn't always work. Words are often more than the sum of their root words.

Whatever you pick, please, please don't let it be Mood Swinging Sweetheart. It's very clunky and painfully bland.

I'm not sure why that's a bad thing. It's just a redirect.

[up][up][up] For sure, I don't think it would be a good main name, but as it's just for redirects people might think of when they don't know what a tsundere is, "mood swing" might be one. I voted it down regardless but it seems to be more popular than Affectionate Spitfire, which is my personal favorite of these redirects.

I think spitfire is terrible, personally, but I don't think it matters in the slightest so I don't feel like arguing about it.

Right, there's nothing saying we can't add both if they get high amounts of votes, it is just a redirect.
