I want to understand at least some words when watching anime. It will be both educational and useful. So what do you say?
I will start
baka: idiot, moron [pronouciation: ba ka ]
keep it short and 'one word' at a time. Maximum of 4 vocab a day.

Yep, Kakashi, you are right... it's probably not as funny if you have to explain it, but I don't get it.

It took me a second to get, but I couldn't stop laughing after the lightbulb above my head finally came on.

I believe the word is fuushi... of course there's also the direct loan word aironii.

'hiniku' is the verb (to be sarcastic/ironic,) 'fuushi' is a noun (i.e. sarcasm/irony.) Just to clarify.
