Okay, I need help for a minute for a class assignment.

How do I say 'raccoon herder' in Japanese?

Comments

tanuki something or other?

Hahaha! I can't for the life of me figure out what kind of situation you'd use that phrase for.

Re: tanuki something or other?

A talent I have. I had raccoons break into my house last night and I talentedly ushered them back out.

So you're like a pied piper for raccoons? That's kind of adorable actually! :3 *imagines you leading a raccoon parade*

[golden_meliades]

Me neither. Does anyone HERD raccoons? Menace, maybe. I know when they say 'tanuki' they picture a raccoon but I think that's actually some sort of spirit like a kitsune...probably a regular raccoon has a different name?

Anyway...you're yanking our collective chain, right? I swear 'raccoon herder' cannot be a valid occupation in ANY country.

[empath_eia]

I do! I had a couple break into my house last night and I politely ushered them out again. ^_^

I have to come up with several weirdass talents I have. I figured that counted.

D'you mean a tanuki, or a raccoon? :P

I know a group/flock/herd is mure, but that's about it. Whatever "to lead" is, perhaps?

[empath_eia]

Actual raccoons.

And I wasn't leading, I was herding. From behind. With a stick.

ROFL!

Eia, you have the best urban adventures!

Keep your kitty in at night, despite her annoying scratching, if there are 'coons about. Their saliva is venomous, and they won't hesitate to dine on her in various gruesome ways. I've seen what racoons do to cats, and it is a horrendous way to die.

...I'm at a complete loss as to why you'd need to know this for school. |D
