Oro?Originally posted by: XanBcoo
My favorite use of "dono" is in Rurouni Kenshin. Kenshin calls Kaoru "Kaoru-dono", roughly meaning "lady Kaoru."
He's such a polite dood.
"Both Kenshin's name and his semi-nonsensical exclamation "oro" are tributes to Watsuki's favorite comedian, Ken Shimura. As used by Shimura and Watsuki, "oro" expresses surprise or dismay, based on the similar exclamation "ara" (generally considered feminine). As proper Japanese vocabulary, "oro" only exists as a word for lochia."
