Ah, well; I suppose I can't really fault you for that. I have a similar distaste for the medical profession's fondness for Latin.
Shep from Interstella5555. Mmm, blue spaceman action hero.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!What annoys me is intolerance for other languages sprinkled in the primary, no matter how broken. Gratuitous languages can be funny if you know the source language. Take Engrish.
What also annoys me is said Gratuitous language being mispronounced. Even if your language dosn't have the exact sounds needed, you could at least use the closest ones it has, instead of absolutely wrong.

The only time I like gratuitous foreign languages is for a bilingual pun or such. Which means it's not actually gratuitous. Oops.
Edit: @Matrix: I have stopped trying to convince my dad that it isn't pronounced "sa-key." I will admit to saying "carry-oaky" though. Bad habit.
On topic, Cillian Murphy. It started out as a joke because my friend was saying he's ugly, and I felt the need to take the opposite side just to be an ass. Unfortunately I convinced myself too well.

@Zetaseal: Karaoke, as pronounced in English, is a naturalised loanword, not Gratuitous Japanese.
And in Cantonese Chinese, it's effectively "kah lah okay".
Matrix: So you'd prefer "Ee er san ee er san one two three one two three ichi ni san" over "eeyersa[n] eeyersan[n] wun tu sree wun tu sree ichi ni san"?
Also, I find ye olde butchered englishe funny. And I have no opinion on Kate Winslet. What movies are we talking about here?

I'll admit I'm not all that turned on by a naked body. Honestly. There's a certain amount of minor squick, in my opinion, that gets covered up by clothes. I don't like seeing male genitalia and mammary glands dangling around, for example.
To me, the naked human body is more a source of mystique and meaningful usage in animé than a source of fetish fuel.
Three-way! Slip me some skin, yo!
(No, wait, you're doing it wrong.)

Gratuitous Japanese and anything else related to the wapanese sub-culture.
