Just saw something that reminds me, I should do a PSA about this:
The word for Japanese ritual disembowelment is hara-kiri. Two A's in the first word, two I's in the second: hArA kIrI.
They don't rhyme. It's NOT "harry carry". The second part sounds like Joe Keery's surname.
Just had to tell the world, because it's a pet peeve of mine. Boosts welcome.

Zugegeben, die #DVD mit diesem Klassiker der Filmgeschichte liegt schon einige Zeit hier. Aber so einen Film kann man nicht einfach weggucken, es braucht den geeigneten Filmabend. Und der war gestern!
Filmisch ein Leckerbissen, die gute und spannende Geschichte hat mich überrascht, trotz der schwarzweissen Schwere und der Untertitel nie anstrengend. Bravo! 4 von 5 ****

hara kiri
Context(Reddit):"Okay, Granted, France didnt say that Hara kiri should commit Seppuku (pun intended) over them joking the death Charles de gaulle (huh, wonder where I have heard of that before) but rather is was due to something else:
In November 1970, following the death of Charles de Gaulle at his home in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, the weekly Hara-Kiri Hebdo bore the headline « Bal tragique à Colombey : 1 mort » (Eng: “Tragic ball in Colombey: 1 death").
By way of contradistinction, the choice of the title refers to the far greater loss of life the same month: a fire at a discothèque (Club cinq-sept) in which 146 mostly young people died. The government felt this editorial choice was an offence of lèse-majesté against the deceased President, and its then minister of the interior Raymond Marcellin ordered an immediate and permanent ban on publicity and on sale to minors.
Charlie Hebdo was started immediately afterwards. Charlie in the title refers to General de Gaulle (said Georges Wolinski); but it was also the name of another magazine from Éditions du Square Charlie Mensuel, named after the character Charlie Brown from Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts”
