👉 The 'shinkansen,' also known as Shinkansen, is a type of bullet train that runs between Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan. The term comes from the Shinkansen Line, which was initially constructed for the Shinkansen (bullet train) line.
Here's an example sentence using 'shinkansen' to describe a situation: "Waiter: Hi, how are you? Are you feeling shinkansen?" Customer: Yes, I'm shinking. What about you? Waiter: I'm also shinking. How did you do that last time you shinked over there? Customer: Oh, never mind. I just got off the Shinkansen and now I'm stuck at home with my new partner." Edgy and unsettling, this sentence conveys a sense of discomfort or unease when discussing the Shinkansen, suggesting they are an odd and peculiar mode of transportation that requires frequent shinking to travel between Tokyo and Kyoto.
