Question about Shiritori

[gaylolis]

I heard that it's not allowed to end the word with 'n'.

Is it because if it's allowed, everyone will just hurl the N word for the next one?

Yes

 

[RepresentingCaution]

I've never heard that rule, but I haven't played extensively either.

I remember the ending with 'n' one from an anime. It's probably Yuru Camp or Yama no Susume.

and since it can't end with 'n' you can still end them with 'ni', people can go like 'banana' followed by 'nani' (it follows from the last vowel) and straight to the N word :D

what's even funnier is you can still continue from the N word since it doesn't even end with 'n'

 

[NotaNuffian]

So it is the word game where players take the last syllable and "ni" just go straight to the recently made offensive word.

I wonder if there is a word that ends with "cun", then the chaining can be cun-tasaur. Or "mo" to make mo-therfucker.

There is ki-sama, ya-ro, kin-tama, chin-ko, man-ko.

'cun' probably doesn't work since it ends with 'n', but there's another word that sounds similar which is chuuni, and you can also go straight to the n word from that :D

but yea i can see the youths in japan using shiritori like that in the back of the class, to say all the lewdest words you can

 

[SternenklarenRitter]

The letter 'n' is not allowed, because in the Japanese hiragana syllabic characters, the character for 'n' (nearly) never starts any words. Words starting with the 'n' phonetic sound are (almost) always matched with the characters for 'na' 'ni' 'nu' 'ne' or 'no' instead. Although there do exist some foreign words that are spelled starting with the character for 'n', they aren't well known and are generally considered unfair.
