FLCL What does FURI KURI (Fooly Cooly) *FLCL* actually mean

i have no clue
:dizzy2:

 

I Think Meaikoh_Takashi was really onto something because I have seen a Pillows music vid and it was for FLCL's soundtrack and their T-shirts were
1. Cool
2. Fool
3. Tool

coincidence... I think not

 

Furi_Kuri: heh, I'd forgotten about that. Just for grins, here's a screencap from said video:

edit: Zanza, you can only delete it if I don't get to it first

 

Wow, I'm surprised this thread got so far...
Well, Furi Kuri...Heh, like I have any idea. But the whole name, its just confusing, makes no sence, but, hey, it kept us coming back every night to watch it, didn't it? Anyways it's a great show and makes no difference at all. The truth is, I never want to know what it means, it's just something to go along with to me.

 

lol, it means naughty, probably in a sexual way

but thats pretty much what it means

 

well at least fooly cooly, im not sure on furi kury,. kury is a type of food, dunno what furi means tho, Haruko in like episode 3 i think, says "...your probably gonna insist on kuri again right?"

Naota: "ahhh, i hate spicy stuff"

 

Hmm...Maybe 'curry' and not 'kuri'?

 

I think it means something similar to:

"something perverted" or "something sexual"

I remember how they were sitting at the table and using the words FURI KURI over and over again like it had to do with sex and other junk.

 

absolutely nothing :anger2:

 

isn't 'kuri kuri' a twisting sound? I dunno about the 'furi' though
(it says so on the booklet inside the DVD box >.> )

 

It has a lot of meanings. One is in fact japanese slang to fondle someone's @$$ :anger2:

 

It means absolutely nothing!

 

Now look at this and tell me what you think about it

 

Fooly Cooly stands for when Naota was acting cool by acting like an adult but in the end he made himself look like a fool, thats what its stands for

 

Honestly, that is the stupidest answer i have ever heard. :anger2:

let my guess... fool and cool have the same exact meanings in japanese as in english! :anger2:

o wait. are you joking? :sweat2:

its not funny :anger2:

 

Um yeah. People in Japan never use any english words. Ever. Especially not simple stuff like "OK" or "Cool." No words from other foreign languages either

person A: hmm.. What does Weiß Kreuz mean?
person B: White Cross
Person C: Are you trying to say that Weiß Kreuz means the same thing in japanese as it does in german? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!

Try thinking of it this way: In Japan, the english word "fool" means the exact same thing as it does here. There's no law against a cross-language pun (see Shu / Shoe from Now and Then, Here and There episode one, or some of the work of Otto "Guten Einkauf" the comic)

Thanks for playing. Next time try to put a little more thought into it before you decide to flame someone.

 

I don't think the words Furi Kuri was meant to be defined or discussed in depth. It is better in my opinion to, like the hilarious anime, be taken at face value. Watch, enjoy, and move on. No time or point in fully understanding its meaning.

 

I still think it's something sexual related. Sort of the equivelent of "2nd base"

In the first episode, nalta's dad asks how they know eachother and she describes their relation in a sexual way. He's like "Grabbing her cupcakes???" "Furi Kuri?!?!?!"
