801 Menu (A.K.A. Dictionary)
The following is a collection of terms that us fellow fudanshi and fujoshi, or yaoi lovers, use and see often in our adventures (This is also WIP.):
Boy's Love (BL) = Literally, a homosexual relationship between two male persons. In Japanese, BL is literally translated "shounen-ai". It is not as graphic as yaoi.
Shounen-Ai = Defined above. :)
Yaoi = Pronounced "yah-oh-ee/yow-ee". Also known as Boy's Love, it is a Japanese acronym that stands for Yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi ("No peak [climax], no fall [punch line], no meaning.") It is slightly different from shounen-ai, which is considered less "hardcore" than yaoi in a sexual sense.
801 = This set of numbers is a play off of the pronunciation of the word "yaoi". In Japanese, 8 is "ya" when counting objects, 0 is, well, "oh", and 1 in standard counting begins with the sound "i", like how we say the letter "e" by itself. So when you see "801", that's always yaoi coming ahead.
Seme = Literally "to attack" or "top", it stands for the male position in a sexual relationship. Also called "tachi," or "sword," as a play on the meaning of "to attack".
Uke = Literally "to recieve" or "bottom", it stands for the female position in a sexual relationship. Also called "neko," or "cat," as the position an uke can take during sexual intercourse.
More terms to come! :D
