myself

On-Yomi: エン — Kun-Yomi: おれ、われ

Koohii stories:

1) [Matthew] 11-12-2009(73): Myself as used by men – a person who prides himself on how big his “eel” is.

2) [aircawn] 16-9-2007(30): "I did it all by myself!" Mr T stands there proud as holding a moray eel in his hand. He's brought down terrorist organisations, drug syndicates, but gets all worked up when catching a fish… what a guy.

3) [Katsuo] 9-2-2007(24): As astridtops mentions, this is "Ore". In Japanese r = l, so could write it "Ole". So picture a bullfight with person as the matador and a dachshund replacing the bull. The crowd keep shouting "Ole! (Ore)".

4) [astridtops] 11-8-2006(15): (note: this is the kanji for 'ore'). "I, myself, am the person who will kill the Midgard Snake", the god Thor bellows. Since he's not known for his politeness, you can see him using 'ore' to refer to himself…

5) [dihutenosa] 25-6-2008(6): Mr T is unfortunately bragging a bit here - "Myself? I have got a pretty big mini-myself. It's actually right around the size of a moray eel, sucka." And as opposed to the Japanese, who point to their noses to refer to their own myself, or cultures that point to their body, when Mr T wants to refer to his myself, he points to his moray eel.
