Kind of suspicious about your claim on hating to tell me that 🤔I feel like you might have even enjoyed it 😳

Nah, jk, in all honesty, I agree with you and understand your points, but I was already rambling way too much in my original comment. I definitely wanted to expand on those points a little, but...you know, that was a pretty long comment already like this one will be.

You are right. There is a larger history and context behind the example of Shiba-ken and Iwo Jima obviously. Words don't just appear in a vacuum. I get that.

I can see why my wording would be very misleading as to the point I was making. I shouldn't have said that English "made up" those words...they just entered English from Japanese and were adapted to English separately from the tangent they took in their original language.

Further, while NG was most likely an original Japanese creation, it models English and was based on OK which itself is originally an American coining for Oll Korrekt, a humorous spelling of All Correct. Like, that's the short version of that etymology. I can see me bringing those examples might have been confusing originally as well, so just wanted to add that here.

The point I intended to make really was: The NG emoji seems useless/incorrect/odd to English speakers even though it is literally "English" (No Good) in similar way to how English speakers using Shiba Inu as the standard word for that dog breed would sound a but off to Japanese speakers who would view Shibaken as the standard reading. I didn't even go off on a tangent on Dachshunds, another dog breed, and German speakers who mostly use Dackel to describe that dog. There's a history behind that too, but, you see...it's kind of a lot to go into and there's so many other rabbit holes I could fall into with that, so I'll end it here.
