👉 The profanity-ese "aukuni" is a term that's often used by people who don't understand the difference between what they're saying and how much of their tongue they've already swallowed. It describes a situation where someone says something offensive, but not in an explicit, hurtful way, but instead as a playful or harmless way to say something.
For instance, imagine you were at a party with friends and accidentally said "aukuni" to one of them. You're sure that they're going to get upset, but the truth is that it's just a harmless jab at their perceived arrogance. How do you deal with such an unexpected joke? You might say something like, "Oh no! I'm just kidding around!" This term can be seen as unsettling for those who don't understand its underlying humor or irony. It suggests that people are playing games with each other to avoid the awkwardness of actually saying something offensive without being seen as being hurtful.
