harassment vocabulary

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



so much to ponder
on an ice-cold morning -
woka hara



quote from the Japan Times this morning


Blame it on the hara:
harassment vocabulary makes us all victims

Japan has a new hara. No, the nice couple down the hall didn’t just have a baby; according to recent news, yet another form of harassment — abbreviated as “hara” in Japanese — is supposedly becoming a social problem.
This time it’s sō-hara, or “social media harassment.”
- and
Aka-hara — “academic harassment,” also known as “campus harassment”
Pawa-hara: “Power harassment”
Teku-hara: “Technological (or technical) harassment”
Mora-hara: “Moral harassment”
Aru-hara: "Alcohol harassment"
Bura-hara: Discrimination based on blood type.
Rabu-hara: “love harassment”
Eiji-hara: “Age Harassment”
Mariji-harasumento: “marriage harassment”
Sumeru-harasumento “smell harassment”

Eā-harasumento: “Air harassment”
- Eaa, Kūki, the Japanese word for air, is often used to refer to the atmosphere or “vibe” of a social situation.

Harō-hara: Seeing a foreigner and saying “harō.”
Ere-hara: "electoral harassment"
Ekusupa-hara: "Expats harassment"
sāka-hara : "sarcasm harassment"

On this note,
I will close by offering up one other new type of harassment for your consideration: hara-hara — the invention of new forms of harassment so you can get other people to deal with your problems rather than confronting them yourself.
