    garra, from garra charrua. The charrua were an indigineous people of south america, and the term expresses a willingness to fight even though the odds are stacked heavily against you. Sadly the charrua were practically wiped out by various missions from europe - their gene pool extinct now.

    Someone else who disagrees with free markets? Nice.

    Mine? It means the dark horse. I joined the site hoping to get info about doing a J1. Got my first warning by bumping an old thread with my very first post. Memories.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Cold War Kid


    I was a kid during the era when people were obsessed with nuclear war. Not the early 60s, the other such era: the 80s.

    I also find all that stuff interesting. Only a very surface knowledge of the politics, but stuff like Threads interests me grimly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,694 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    I have a hairy chest that pokes out over the collar of my shirts/t-shirts, much to the surprise of Japanese people.

    One girl called me 'Mr. Monkey' in Japanese, which is osarusan.
