What it means

From Randall Munroe’s geekily hysterical xkcd webcomic:

bepimpin

Chad Brewbaker at Drake University wrote Eubonicode with a couple of his brothas. Eubonicode is “a new language for hackin in the hood”. Examples from the Eubonicode below:

Coming-of-Age Day

According to the Wikipedia, today is 成人の日 (seijin no hi), or Coming-of-Age-Day, in Japan.

The age of majority in Japan is 20. The seijin shiki covers all those who will reach this age during the current school year, which runs between April and the following March. The ceremony is generally held in the morning at local city offices and all young adults who maintain residency in the area are invited to attend. Government officials give speeches, and small presents are handed out to the new adults.

Hey!  Now I can be recognized as an adult in Japan.
