Necktie
To give someone a necktie as a gift means 'Kubittake', 'I am crazy about you'. Because we have a necktie around
our neck. 'Neck' is 'Kubi'in Japanese. It's a Japanese joke!? So, when you give a
necktie as a present, be careful!!
kubittake = up to the neck;
complete devotion.
Comb
You must not give a comb to another person. Because 'Comb' is 'Kushi' in
Japanese. We think 'Ku' of 'Kushi' is 'Kurushii'. This means 'Painful' 'Shi' of
'Kushi' is 'Shinu' This means 'die'. So it is said that you must not give
a comb to another person.
