I’m sensing a trend here.

I was going to say that that word *really* caught on fast, but I didn’t realize that “Supermarket” is now over 30 years old, but was only translated last year. ”Shoshaman”（企業家サラリーマン）by Shinya Arai is a good book about the little man not being able to take the corporate culture anymore.

Anyway, interesting article!
