When my wife visited Japan she may have lived on okonomiyaki since that was the only thing she knew by name without the point and shoot technique. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okonomiyaki She had a Japanese pen pal and met up with her and her brother for lunch. Brother and friends walked in front, women followed behind. My wife showed constraint unusual for her, being a 'liberated' woman. Just as well since she had about 6" and 50 pounds on the average Japanese male.

As in breech loader, or breech birth where the babies shithole comes first. It is also an archaic name for trousers (pants to you) modified in US englsish to 'britches' rather than 'breeches' and in northern UK dialects to 'breeks' Breach is a *break*. Juts because no gives a shit about spelling or ever looks it up doesn't magfically change the etymology of a word.
