Koohii stories:
1) [zazen666] 5-10-2007(256): (Warning-this one is crude) Imagine a godown (dockside warehouse) where you can meet girls who will godown on you with their mouth. To keep the place a bit of a secert, they only have one gate.
2) [fuaburisu] 26-10-2005(56): Hint : the "godown" is like a warehouse, it's on the docks and mostly in Asia. To make an image distinct from that of "warehouse" or "storehouse", etc, I picture the goods stored there, piled up on pallets really high, and thus they have to "godown" before they can be taken outside. The front of this godown is a "meeting of small gates", i.e. a row of gates through which goods come in and out. The mouth can be an opening somewhere in the back, or the top, where cranes lift down the goods.
3) [cangy] 27-3-2008(48): Note: this is not gate but actually a variation of door and is written as such, with the vertical stroke last not first.
4) [matsuyamakiwi] 29-6-2008(30): Imagine a mafia godown at the docks where shifty mafia types meet and lots of dodgy deals godown. This is a very secret place, so there is only one gate, and to enter you have to say the password with your mouth.
5) [dingomick] 9-9-2007(22): A godown is an old style warehouse where goods were temporarily stacked stacked to the roof(meeting). A series of gates with mouths(doors) were used access them for shipment. (Primitive EAST INDIA TRADING) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WarehousesinAmsterdam.JPG.
