Another Word of the Day, this one after having watched "The Surreal Life" and watching the ex-stars eat (or not) sushi off the body of a naked woman. Actually off of the stratigically placed banana leaves and chrysanthemums, but whatever.

Anyway, my trained anthropologist's eye noticed that the woman was Asian, and this was something so bizarre and elaborate that it could only be one of those fun foreign customs we Westerners don't do anymore, or if we do, we're either embarrassed by it or else claim its shockingly naught. So a web search turned this up:

nyotaimori

Nyotaimori is a Japanese ritual, the practice of eating sushi served on the body of a naked woman. nyotaimori means "female body plate."
