That means “to feel embarrassed” in Japanese.
Yesterday, the Japanese salaryman colleague I have was very excited about the kangaroo’s return to Tokyo. He was discussing with our other colleague at length about impending meetings with clients in the coming week.
He also asked me a few times what time the kangaroo will touch down and go to the office. Also, he wondered what time I will be coming in today, “You will be with Kangaroo-san tomorrow morning?” I felt a wee bit embarrassed — did he think we’d be shagging during office hours?!
I am here, in the office, with no special “schedule”. Let’s say I work in a different company, I couldn’t be late just because my boyfriend returned from a business trip. Anyway, I’ll see him at home later.
I have thought about how to behave in the office — no “honey”, “baby”, or other cute endearments. He will just be “Kangaroo-san”. And we don’t have to eat lunch together.
