No, in Zen the meaning is far more subtle. Something like "Gnus, Eudora, it's all illusion so let's go swimming instead". In daily Japanese it means "none". So it's too late, we've already done "No Gnus". ;-) > > > Tough criteria. :-) > > > > Not really. :-) >=20 > Not in this age where information - not knowledge - is a commodity. Ah, but most of your list won't fly as single kanji; they simply wouldn't be read that way without additional characters, usually non-kanji. One could make the T-shirt that way, but I think the single kanji would have more impact. Some glosses (rather personal ;-) on your list: > 1353 =E7=B4=AB purple murasaki Somehow reminds me of Jimi Hendrix. Good! > 1263 =E7=A5=AD festival matsu-ru, matsu-ri Gnus development often reminds me of a Japanese festival. Lots of milling around signifying very little. ;-) > 2141 =E9=BA=BA-=E9=BA=B5 noodles men, mugiko "Men-gnus" doesn't scan. Sounds like a brand of contact lens. > 18 =E4=B8=B8 circle maru, maru-i, maru-meru Very Japanese.
