Notes: I haven't been able to locate the URL for my previous "bad" Japanese post. I may be able to on the actual computer I used when I found it. While searching, however, I found this little tid-bit on Wiki concerning the acronym for yaoi. Or more accurately, the backronym for it.
</p>
The blanket term "yaoi" is an acronym for the phrase "Yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi", which means "no peak, no point, no meaning".
--> A backronym identifies it as "Yamete, oshiri (ga) itai" which literally means "Stop, my ass hurts!"
