Potato
Potato is the word for Koushinist in Koushinism. It is generally used with adjectives to describe the characteristics of a person.
It comes from the mistranslation of the Japanese expression "わるいもの" (bad person). When Japanese speakers read this, they usually divide this into two parts, "わるい" (bad) and "もの" (person) However, someone read this by dividing it into three parts, ”わる" (bad), "いも" (potato), and "の" ('s). Koushinists thought this strange interpretation funny and the use of the word "potato" spread.
