i could never figure it out what does it mean "fooly cooly" i really must know can some one plez tell me
 
you mean furi kuri? I have no idea. I actually looked up the words in a japanese to english dictionary and got:

Furi- disadvantage, handicap, irrationable, unreasonable, inseprability
Kuri- chestnut, monastery kitchen, priests' quarters

I have no idea what these words together mean...
 
oops used pronouncation i could never spell it:) but the way the used it ive always though like no foolin around but i was never sure cause they used it in somany context
 
I created my own word, coolio because of this series. Not as in the rapper Coolio, but because of this anime. I just said furi kuri! one day and then coolio came out lol!

As to what it means ... Lord knows!
 
you mean furi kuri?

Yes and no, it would be spelt that way but pronounced a different way, I used to take Japanese classes so I know for a fact that there is no 'R' in the Japanese language, so it may be translated in writing as an 'R' but it's pronounced as a sort of quick and forced 'L'

you didn't make up coolio... so many people use it at my school, and it drives me over the edge...

Well Im sorry but Ive heard no one else use it, so in my head I made it up. Its become my catch phrase to my family and friends as Ive been saying it for ages. Thats what you posted, just to point that out? Bloody hell.

Ive Wikepediaed the name and heres the link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furi_Kuri

Theres a section called languages. Hopefully that can explain it better. I think its just something random that was throw together and really has no meaning at all. Maybe its some private joke between the creators?
 
A common mistake by English-speaking fans is to say that the meaning of "Furi Kuri" in Japanese is "Breast Fondling." This mistake arises from the fact that "kuri kuri" is occasionally used by manga artists as a sound effect for breast fondling. In the anime itself, they make references to "kuri kuri" during the first manga scene, when Shigekuni describes kneading bread by making hand gestures that unmistakably resemble groping motions. Due to incredibly fast pacing of the scene, many fans mistake his statement as referring to "furi kuri" instead of "kuri kuri." Much Japanese onomatopoeia follows a pattern of being four kana long and having a sound repeated twice. "Furi furi" is also used as a sound effect in a later episode when Haruko is petting Naota's cat ears.
 
What does the name mean? Haha, what does the SHOW mean? I never understood this show, and I doubt I ever will, no matter how many times I watch it. It's just too weird.. :lol:
