    Forgive me for being close to “that guy” but since I’m learning moon runes I thought I’d offer a rough translation. (°々°)More an opportunity for me to practice so take it for all the pennies it’s worth.

    I think translated literally it would be “where are you looking?”, and assuming that’s the case, a more natural translation would probably be “What are you looking at?”

        Oh dear – I just looked it up because I didn’t want to talk completely out of my ass and I just learned it originated on 4chan as a bit of a derogatory term. Somehow the racist overtones never really sunk in, I’d just heard it once or twice to refer to written Japanese and thought it sounded funny.
