I just about spit up my whiskey during the NBA finals when Laker Ronny Turiaf showed off his tattoo for "family." It was the kanji character for "house," which makes up only half of the "family" compound.

Since the same character for "house" is used to create the sexist compound "kanai" for "wife" (meaning "house/deep inside") I couldn't help wondering whether Turiaf was a misogynist or just a moron.
