As I've complained before.
So I am naturally astonished to see that, in addition to not knowing English, it doesn't know French:
You know, you guys, you can just google "French dictionary" and one'll pop up. It doesn't cost anything. You could even just type those two words directly into the search engine, and end up here.
Also, this thing:
I don't think that "love-love" is really a word that needed to be retained for purposes of cultural authenticity. I feel, strongly, that there are English-language equivalents to this idea. That do not make people cringe.
(It's an actual Japanese term, yes, and one that's in common use. One of my students once, upon realizing how badly it offended my aesthetic sensibilities, started repeating it to me aggressively, fascinated by the contortions of my face.)
