Koohii stories:
1) [Raichu] 3-9-2006(349): The policed inquired into the erotica scandal. They tried to sweep away the evidence, but some of it stuck. (Note: katakana エロ ero in the middle of this kanji is the Japanese word for erotica.).
2) [chamcham] 20-1-2008(85): As a verb this means, this means "to ask; to enquire; to search; to look for; to look into; to investigate;". Imagine the police inquiring in an in-depth investigation. They are interrogating a suspect. But the suspect has a crafty mouth and is very sly. He/she also knows when to keep their mouth shut(glued) at the right moments to avoid self-incrimination. As a final measure, the police torture the suspect by tickling him/her with a broom while they inquire.
3) [netsplitter] 15-12-2008(68): You are new in Japan and you inquire about a new job. Lucky for you, there is one. You're now the guy with the broom who sweeps the エロ (ero) "studio" after they're done. "Eww, what's this gluing the broom to the ground…". Time to inquire about a new job :).
4) [melchan] 14-6-2009(34): The cleaning lady found some エロ ero pictures glued together while sweeping the floor and started to inquire everyone around about it.
5) [taijuando] 22-5-2006(21): I tried to inquire about broom craft but every one's mouth was glued under an inquire spell.
