These are just words that I come across in my daily nihongo adventures. Words like these pop up quite often actually in fiction, manga, anime, etc.

Well, individually speaking the words don’t come up so often, but in any given block of text there’s usually something interesting.

Of course I’ll definitely do a roundup of the next batch too ;-)

Really like this list and hope you will collect the othe ones here when you posted a couple on twitter :)

So I would like to know how you find these words. I mean there are some obvious widely used ones, but some are not to that extend, so you just look into a 俗語辞典 or something?

Thanks for your work :)
