12. According to my electronic dictionary (Sharp PW A8400),
"unchi" is also child-speak for SHIT, as is "unko". A neutral term would be "DAIBEN" (LARGE "convenience"?) as opposed to "SHOBEN" (SMALL "convenience"?), meaning PISS.
Oh shit!! come and see what I just did all over my keyboard!
There are other homonyms for "tsuba" (but different kanji). I'm tied down right now. Later, I'll try to get the best choice of words for "all over the ...".
11. That's news to me, but I could always be wrong.
Do you mean "UNKO"? A commonly used term FOR SHIT is KUSO (k'so), but it isn't such a no-no word as it is here. I've heard the phrase "Eh kuso!" ("Oh shit!") spoken on Japanese TV, and without any accompanying titters.
