I thought the pic was going to refer to her earing.Probably would be better if you could pick a pic where the word you're trying to demonstrate is a bit more obvious mate.

Could be very handy for that 瘙痒症 spot you normally just can't reach

LOL Bababardwan...your post cracked me up for two reasons.  First, I thought you were being serious about the pic, and you got me!

Second, I rolled over 瘙痒症 with Pera-kun and got:

瘙 (no definition)

痒 to itch / to tickle

症 obstruction of bowels

Then I MDBG'd it and got "pruritus / itchy skin".  Either way you look at it, you are right!

Changye, you're right, she totally looks like a Klingon.  Where's Henning when we need him?
