Koohii stories:

1) [Johnnyltn] 18-9-2006(250): Note: this word in Japanese has the idea of "indignant". So aroused here refers to being aroused because of anger over some unjust or wrong act, unfairness etc. It doesn't seem to carry a meaning associated with arousal in the sense of sex or pleasure. So, my story: think of the angry state of mind aroused at finding all your clams buried under your haystack stolen, gone!

2) [joesan] 25-10-2007(68): Data was aroused/indignant when he saw what the volcano had done to the farmers building their haystacks and the fishermen collecting their shells . The tragedy of it all aroused him so much he didn't even notice he was feeling emotion.

3) [nilfisq] 24-9-2007(31): Aroused: the state of mind men are in before their eruption…

4) [tomtosh] 20-12-2007(24): Oh boy, does bearded clam ever work for this kanji! I get into an aroused state just thinking about it.

5) [theasianpleaser] 20-11-2008(10): After Data got his emotion chip, his anger was aroused when he realized he wasn't getting any of that bearded clam.
