Koohii stories:
1) [bigloui] 1-5-2006(307): Oh come on people - say what we've all been thinking: the uncle is that creepy guy towering above a little one's crotch.
2) [Danieru] 28-6-2008(165): Four straight kanji here with 叔 in it, so let's make one story: Your UNCLE was full of loneliness (#720 寂) ( 寂 ), and he lived by himself. He was naturally graceful (#721 淑) ( 淑 ) in the water, and you knew he was once on the Olympic synchronized swimming team). You knew that there was something different about him, but you joined his youth team and he watched over you carefully as coach (#719 督) ( 督 ). It was uncomfortable, though, how your uncle (#718 叔) often touched you just a little above the crotch ( 叔 ) when coaching…
3) [Ricardo] 16-6-2006(86): Imagine one of those cliches of comedy: an uncle is above the little crotch of the new born nephew, when the baby pees in his face!
4) [mrred] 16-7-2008(68): This kanji becomes easy if you use its proper meaning as a keyword: younger sibling of parent.

5) [raulir] 28-4-2006(37): You don't want to know. Really.
