Japanese Department Store May Want to Look Up the Word 'Fucking'
If only we could have sat in on the meeting where the marketing team for this Osaka department store came up with the idea for their "Fuckin' Sale," spotted early this month by a reader of Jake Adelstein's Japan Subculture blog. An Osaka department store's Fuckin Sale was one of the classic Engrish gaffes of our time.-There should be some cool English words on these signs. -How about "Fuckin' Sale?" -What's that mean? -Fuckin' means, like, really good. So it's a really good sale. -And there's no other meaning to "fuckin'? Nothing at all that might embarrass us on the internet?
WTF is a Fuckin’ Sale? | SoraNews24 -Japan News-
Recently, a lot of fuss was made over an advertisement spotted near the Amerikamura (American Village) area of Osaka. Although overlooked by most Japanese who walked by, the posters hit English speaking foreigners like a slap in the face. It read: “Fuckin’ Sale — All 20% Off”. In the case of English speakers, they are most likely wondering what exactly a “fuckin’ sale” is.Most people’s first reaction is that this sale must be huge to warrant such a modifier, but surely 20% off just doesn’t cut it to be considered a “fuckin’ sale,” even if it is on all merchandise.Recently, a lot of fuss was made over an advertisement spotted near the Amerikamura (American Village) area of Osaka.

People who get upset over the innocent use of a simple word should just fuckin’ relax.
Japanese department store holds a f****** sale, but removes posters after internet freaks out
Fuckin is a pun on fukubukuro—”lucky bags.” The New Year’s tradition in Japan sees retailers put their extra stock from the year before into big bags and sell them as a discount. Well, if that’s the case, then take us to the fuckin sale. Getting lost in translation can have some hilarious results. Like this one. A Japanese department store decided to have a sale, but not just any sale, a fucking sale.The sale is still on until Monday, but I spoke with the people from Gallerie earlier today (hurray, my Japanese is getting better!) and apparently they’ve decided to take down the fuckin’ signs.They also apologized for any offense taken over their hilariously offensive sign. The Super Happy Awesome blog also revealed why there was a fuckin sale in the first place.These sales are big in Japan.

"Fuckin' Sale": Japanese Department Store Offers Unusual Deal | HuffPost Latest News
After Gawker posted about the "Fuckin' Sale," the site received an email from Ron Silver, who runs the popular restaurant Bubby's in New York City. He wrote that he felt "personally responsible for this Fuckin' Sale" because he had helped introduce the profanity into mainstream Japanese culture. The store hung multiple, prominent signs advertising a "Fuckin' Sale," which is presumably a deal customers wouldn't want to miss."On our way to catch up over coffee, I walked into this store to check some things. Truth is, I didn’t even notice the posters. When I looked around, each corner had posters that printed ‘fucking sale’. I didn’t know how to react but what caught me by surprise was that none of the people around me seem to understand the profanity.Mystery solved? The world may never fuckin' know."I trained these guys and trained these guys, and they called me up and said, 'By fresh do you mean frozen?' And I was like, 'I mean fucking fresh, man. Do not fuck around with this thing.'" Silver said in a phone interview, the frustration still audible in his voice.
Why Sales Fucking Sucks. Sales is a necessary evil. Everything… | by I Am Unknowing | Medium
Sales is a necessary evil. Everything in life is sales. Your parents try to sell you on doing your chores. Your friends try to sell you on going to the Bladee concert. Your teachers try to sell you… Sales is a necessary evil. Everything in life is sales. Your parents try to sell you on doing your chores. Your friends try to sell you on going to the Bladee concert. Your teachers try to sell you on processes and formulas to use. But sales sucks. It fucking sucks.If you don’t perform, you’re fuckin’ fired and the company didn’t lose much. If you perform well, you make money and the company makes even more money. Your worth as an employee is directly related to how much revenue you produce. Compare this to a customer service representative, or an engineer. It’s very hard to quantify their worth as employees. They’re necessary to make the business run, but they’re more than just a number. As a salesman i’m disposable.No matter how happy I make a potential customer, no matter how much they enjoy talking with me, no matter how good I can make them feel, if they don’t buy then it’s a waste of time (in the business’ eyes). That’s fucked up. I was in a meeting with my Sales Director today when my manager came in.We discussed strategies and new processes moving forward, but then my manager started talking about what he used to do when he was in my position. He would track his sales to calculate how much he needed to sell in order to justify his base salary. I don’t want to do that. I am more than just that fucking number.

Being around the extra-genki Osaka-jins and salesladies screaming ‘Irashaimasse’ from every direction for the ongoing New Year Sales has never made us feel more at home. On our way to catch up over coffee, I walked into this store to check some things. Truth is, I didn’t even notice the posters. When I looked around, each corner had posters that printed ‘fucking sale’. I didn’t know how to react but what caught me by surprise was that none of the people around me seem to understand the profanity.I should note that Zarina’s childhood friend is Sarah Kashani, my friend and one of the most knowledgable scholars on Koreans in Japan. Sarah verified the authenticity of the signage and the sale, although neither side has disclosed whether they actually bought anything at the sale. 2012 is going to be a fuckin’ awesome year in Japan.Sarah verified the authenticity of the signage and the sale. Yeah, cause you really need to be fluent in english (and Japanese!) to understand “Fuckin”… And you have to a phd candidate to verify a sale at the Parco….Now, for this to be a F-ing sale, the percentages are too low of a discount, so they are correct, it is just another f-ing sale. ...

When asked why the Japanese would plaster such signs all over a department store, Nathan Hopson replied, "Why not? English is cool. 'Fuckin" packs a good English wallop, but nobody's offended." To this, Nathan's wife, Tomomi, added, "Fuckin' sale, 20% off…. The photograph was reposted by Pat Myers on Twitter with this note: "An on-sale sign in English that you won't see outside Japan."

Thus the ichiban 一番 ("number 1") t-shirts made quite an impression on Tomomi, far more than the "Fuckin' Sale" signs at Shinsaibashi.There is a very curious phenomenon of transference between two of the four components of the Japanese writing system (kanji, hiragana, katakana, romaji) whereby romaji kotoba (e.g., "Fuckin' Sale") function in a similar fashion as katakana kotoba, with a greater emphasis on their aural qualities than their semantic properties.
