translation

Lady Killer Wham-Bam Rook is my translation of the Japanese. There's a list of Japanese shogi terms (http://www.shogi.net/shogivocab/vocabhtml.html) that includes this opening. However, they don't translate the ドッカン part. It's an onomatopoeia (sound effect word) for the sound something hitting something else. Given that the name often includes 女殺し "lady killer/womanizer" and that the creator was a pornographer, my interpretation is that the sound effect is a tasteless reference to the sexual act that the translators of the shogi term list were too polite to actually translate. Hence, my 'wham-bam' translation. But, maybe that's wrong. I don't know. We could just call it Lady Killer Dokkan Rook instead. – ishwar (speak) 04:13, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
