I �m preparing a talk on English loan words, but find it hard to make it more interesting.  I  am aware that members in this site are from almost every corner of the world, so I wonder if someonby can offer me some good suggestion? Are there any funny and most popular examples of English loan words? I �m particularly interested in knowing words from Japanese,which is popular culture in my own place.Thanks in advance!

 

 

 

Hope it helps,

The videos are hilarious and very informative. They might be useful for you and well worth watching.
