Oh look a kitten.
Is it an island in Hawaii?
Nope.
But it sure is cute.
Whats this, you say?
Kawaii is a slang word for cute?
HELLZ NUU!
Kawaii is an island, no matter how you slice it.
Kawaii is not code for cute.
And so, I shall voice my concern for today's youth.
Are you all stupid?
Kawaii. Proper Noun.
As in, a person, place or thing.
Not an adjective.
As in, a word used to describe something.
Like slimy, or fluffy, or annoying.
Get it through your heads!

You don't see people muttering Ohio! when they step in doggy poo.
