Oshikiri Moe and Ebihara Yuri pose with their new brand of hosiery, called f*ing motesto.

You can't make stuff this funny up.

:rofl:

It took a while for it to sink in... zOMG Dx

[Hira-Kata to Sawa]

f*ing a...

[雨]

They're so pretty, I would have forgiven them completely even if they made the title carelessly racist.

[CrazyAce86]

I hate to sound stupid, but could someone explain the joke to me?

[雨]

The brand name is "F*ing motesto". Much like a shortening of "Fucking motesto".

[RandomPasserby]

What does motesto mean? Modest?

[CrazyAce86]

^
That's my question. The "fucking" part I got.

close to sexy... - f'ing sexy.... good name good name.

i'm surprised they didn't do that here

[Urban~Ninja]

Wow thats just kinda....weird, i mean lingrie maybe but hosiery is kinda weird.

[RandomPasserby]

Ooh, hosiery is stockings/socks. These forums great education be! Hosiery and oreo this week!

Ok, the girl on the left is kinda cute. Not so the one on the right.

Motesto... Does that word even exist?.

[羽之助]

Weirdly enough, the only things that come up when I search is, it might be a Spanish surname ...

It's probably a contraction of something or the combination of other words, though.

Like "mote" could be short for "moteru", to be lucky with the ladies/men, and "suto" could be short for "sutorii", story. Or anything else. Or not.

It's kind of like hearing a commercial for "the new, BMW Gibberplatzxeffnit". Hurrah for making up new nonsense.

Breaking it down was a good idea, now I kinda see how they came up with the stupid name. You probably got the first part right, but the second part I think is the "sto" in "stocking". You know how we (yes, WE Japanese) just call them パンスト, so motesto is short for モテるパンスト.

[羽之助]

You, sir, are a genius! If I had been thinking I probably would have got it ...

[japanat]

motesto... mote・suto
moteru sutokkingu? sexy, make-him-want-you stockings, I imagine:liar: (that ain't my nose...)

[羽之助]

For the purpose of f*ing, it would seem.

fling?

Because if it's fucking, the "ck" is not there, son :watson: . But then again, this is western logic kicking in.

Really? Everybody up in my area seems to just call them ストッキング. Maybe it's a regional thing.

[RandomPasserby]

Moteru is said like a motel, right? Getting lucky with women/men=motel is kind of disrespectable towards those motels that aren't unofficial bordels!

[4letterwords]

Ever just sit back and think "God... the Japanese are weird."

I think that's just what it boils down to.

[koneko-chan]

Hilarious....F*ing Hilarious

[japanat]

Ever just sit back and think "God... the Japanese are weird."
Every fucking day...

[羽之助]

Every f*ing day...

Fixed it for you.

I think Ms. Americanized said it better.

[Nannou]

I like how their legs combined make an "M" shape.

I thought that was the joke to start with.
