Koohii stories:
1) [elktapestry] 27-3-2007(142): It's funny, Hesig gives no Kanji in his book that means cheap/inexpensive… well… if you were wondering what Kanji would carry that meaning, look no further. Sometimes I wonder if Hesig just thinks our little brains would be too easily confused by multiple meanings. Regardless, think of that woman relaxing. Cheapest place to do that is in one's own home rather than at some fancy resort, eh? 家で休暇を取るは安いですね。 .
2) [enerccio] 22-7-2007(83): You can only relax, when you have woman under roof to do all chores.
3) [Po0py] 20-12-2008(65): Cheapest place for a woman to relax is in her own home.
4) [captal] 22-3-2008(31): To me, this kanji has always meant "cheap/inexpensive." The way to remember this kanji is: A woman under a roof is cheap, because she isn't off spending your money! Now you'll never forget it!
5) [mhheie] 21-1-2008(22): No one who has ever been to Japan could have failed to notice the relaxed life of the housewifes. While the husband slaves 14 hours a day at work, the woman of the house meets up with friends in cafes, takes piano lessons, goes shopping (no wonder Heizig didn't want to use cheap as keyword), watch TV dramas…oh, and take care of their 1.2 (and going down) children. A woman in a house is the perfect symbol for relax.
