One day they started appearing and now they're everywhere. Where did they come from?

I was totally unaware of this when I made mine. :eek:

Its the latest 'thing' 'fad' or 'trend' (whatever you want to call it) for those who use the RvR forums (scum, filth, trash - again whatever you want to call it)

If you just ignore them and avoid eye contact you'll be fine, they'll get over this just like every other little quirk they pick up :)

My students in Japan use 'Moomin' as a slang word for pervert.

Apparently an 'Akihabara Moomin Papa' is the worst kind. Anyone with a slight knowledge of Tokyo should understand this.

What the heck is Moomin anyway? (And no, I don't want to Google.com it, I'd probably end up on nasty fetish sites anyway).

Not knowing what a moomin is deserves a :touch: :twak:

Moomins sometimes wander down from the north pole and terrorise people in remote areas of Sweden. Or so I'm told.

You're quite right here. Moomin (= "muumipeikko" originally in finnish) was a series of books written by Tove Jansson (for ADULTS) untill the japanese turned them to cartoons (for CHILDREN :(). That's pretty much when they lost their reputation. :p
