peer agreement (net): +2Brothers/Sisters are worthless just like worms Explanation: kyodai = brothers or sisters mushikera = a worm or insect, but it also means an insignificant person, a person who counts for nothing, or a worthless person. I think in that case the word, mushikera, doesn't mean a real worm but a worthless person. |
