Shimatta
When a Japanese returns from somewhere, their set phrase is tadaima.
So, after 40 minutes of terrorising a high-level student with my brainsick lunatic ravings, I booted open the door to the teacher's room and strutted in with my own subtle variation of tadaima:
"Check it out, tossers: Dan's back!"
This doesn't generally get a round of applause, but today the atmosphere was even more muted than usual. I understood why when I saw that my Area Manager was standing in the corner.
Could be time to dust off the CV.
