Koohii stories:

1) [Nukemarine] 15-8-2007(322): When a man PROPOSES to a lady, he takes her FINGER and places the ring on it JUST SO, and the moment sweeps her away.

2) [akrodha] 23-4-2008(87): I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but the ring was too small to fit her finger. Instead of saying yes, she just uttered an annoyed sigh. So I rushed to the jeweler where he made it bigger. But now it was too big, so I rushed back to make it smaller. This spiel kept going on until the ring was finally just so. Her eyes lit up and she said yes.

3) [dingomick] 15-2-2007(38): When you propose, the ring you place on your fiance's finger better be just so (style/size/placement/etc.) or she'll reject your sorry ass.

4) [zoletype] 3-8-2009(33): Business proposals in Japan have to be set out just so. If you fail to lay them out in the correct way, you have to give up a finger, just like the yakuza. NOTE This is not the same type of propose as to propose for marriage, so I opted for a different direction.

5) [.David] 23-5-2011(14): You raise your finger at a meeting, to propose things to be done just so. NOTE This is not the same "propose" as to "propose for marriage".
