LoL
Let me share a bit of japanese culture with you LoL

San
San (さん, San) is the most common honorific title, used when addressing most social outsiders, for example, non-family members. San is used unless the addressee's status warrants one of the other terms mentioned below.
San is often translated as "Mr.", "Ms.", "Mrs.", and the like.

Sama
Sama (様, Sama) is the formal version of san. This honorific is used primarily in addressing persons much higher in rank than oneself and in commercial and business settings to address and refer to customers.

Kun
Kun (君, Kun) is an informal and intimate honorific primarily used towards males. It is used by persons of senior status in addressing those of junior status, by males of roughly the same age and status when addressing each other, and by anyone in addressing male children.

Senpai and kōhai
Senpai (先輩, Senpai) is used by students to refer to or address senior students in an academic or other learning environment, or in athletics and sports clubs, and also in business settings to refer to those in more senior positions. Kōhai (後輩, Kōhai) is the reverse of this. It is used to refer to or address juniors, though it might be considered somewhat insulting or overly condescending in some circles to refer to someone as kōhai directly.

Sensei
Sensei (先生, Sensei) (derived from Mandarin Chinese xian shēng, meaning Mister) is used to refer to or address teachers, practitioners of a profession such as doctors and lawyers, politicians, and other authority figures. It is used to show respect to someone who has achieved a certain level of mastery in an art form or some other skill.

Now the biggest of them all LoL...

Chan
Chan (ちゃん, Chan) is the hypocoristic suffix, used to refer to children, animals, and people whom one has known since they were children. To use chan for adults whom one has not known since their childhood requires considerable intimacy, less for women than for men. Attaching chan to a modified stem is more intimate than attaching it to the full form of the basic name. Chan may also used for celebrities as a title of affection. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger gained the nickname Shuwa chan in Japanese. Although traditionally honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women occasionally develop the habit of referring to themselves in the third person using chan. For example, a young woman named Maki might call herself Maki-chan rather than using a first person pronoun. Chan is also used for pets' names and when referring to animals, such as usagi-chan (or, more frequently, usa-chan: rabbit+chan) (e.g. Tama-chan, the flying turtle in Love Hina), or when speaking to small children.

Non-standard variations of chan include chin (ちん, chin), and tan (たん, tan). This last is also the popular suffix for moé anthropomorphisms, which are artistic memes on Japanese imageboards wherein a female character, usually in a kind of cosplay, is drawn to represent an inanimate object or popular consumer product. Part of the humor of this personification comes from the personality ascribed to the character (often satirical) and the sheer arbitrariness of identifying a variety of machines, objects, and even physical places as cute.
Famous examples include the OS-tan (representing computer operating systems) and Bisuke-tan (representing KFC biscuits). Some characters such as Bincho-tan are actual mascots of companies.
The Japanese media use chan when mentioning pre-elementary school children and sometimes elementary-school girls.

Wow , somebody truly did his homework , my friends

Thanx a lot

[DarkDevil]

sorry for my error.
I mean sama.

[Forgotten_Lum]

lol I think I saw the exact same text in the back of a XXXholic manga

[DarkDevil]

what is XXXholic

[FallinG_StaR]

Its a manga... Duh!!! LoL

[lmae]

This is just my opinion.

It is highly insulting to put Lum and Shampoo together. (I don't like Shampoo >_<)
Why? Lum is better than Shampoo! especially.. the way they speak.. I don't like Shampoo's way of words.
And I don't like Shampoo's attitude.

its just my opinion

[DarkDevil]

I agree with you Imae.

[FallinG_StaR]

I think that Shampoo is somewhat a crossing of Lum and Ran personalities she's cute and kind and at the same time crazy like hell LoL

[DarkDevil]

If you join Lum with Ran, the result of that fusion would be LuRamn suicide.

[FallinG_StaR]

LoL maybe... but I was refering to the love expressions...

[DarkDevil]

In scale 1 to 10
Lum - Anger to Ataru - 8
Ran - Anger to Rei - 0

Lum - Love to Ataru - 9
Ran - Love to Rei - 10

[Forgotten_Lum]

I would have to disagree with

Lum - Anger to Ataru - 8

I would say a 6, I think Lum enjoys shocking the hell out of Ataru

Lum - Love to Ataru - 9

It has to be a 10, doesn't matter what Ataru does Lum will always love him
