Shizuka informed me tonight that a person who persistantly misbehaves or causes trouble is know as a "bad mikkan". For those who don't know, a mikkan is a mandarin orange.
I told her she must mean a "bad apple". No, she insists, in Japan they are a bad orange.
Comparing East and West is literally like comparing apples and oranges!
Very Interesting!! I have never heard that before. How do they say it in Japanese?
