Koohii stories:

1) [danie115] 21-11-2008(72): Sugoi! Sugoi! Ice Wife Sugoi!

2) [astridtops] 15-12-2006(48): His wife has a nifty way of making all types of ice cream in her home freezer.

3) [herman] 20-11-2008(40): I prefer keyword "terrific" for this as the Japanese meaning can be either "great" or "dreadful". Story: freezing your wife is a terrific idea, she can still look pretty and you don't have to listen to all the nagging.

4) [tuuli] 12-11-2008(28): A word like nifty makes you think of the 50's, and a housewife so impressed with the new freezer that she says "oh, how nifty!".

5) [Elphalpo] 8-7-2012(12): My ice-cold wife would beat me down if I ever insulted her, so I often tell her she's 凄い (sugoi), which she takes to mean amazing but what I actually mean is dreadful. ————————- (I use すごい (sugoi) as a keyword because I already know it, but if you wanna use an English keyword, I like herman's suggestion of "terrific.").
