　Ichiwa kara panchira ya zenra mansai datta kudaranai harem anime yone
― Isn't that a lame harem anime that was packed with panty shots and nudity right from episode 1?

Panchira (パンチラ) is an expression used by Japanese women to warn each other that their underwear is visible; the term carries risqué connotations similar to the phrase "your slip is showing" in English usage. The word is a portmanteau of "panty" (パンティー pantī) and chira, the Japanese sound symbolism representing a glance or glimpse. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchira)

●ちくわぶ？
― Chikuwabu?

Chikuwabu (ちくわぶ) is a wheat-based Japanese food item that is frequently eaten as an ingredient in oden. Similar to the process used to make udon, dough is made by kneading flour with salt and water and it is them formed into a thick cylindrical shape with a hollow tube through its center and steamed. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chikuwabu)

●竹輪でも麩でもない。
　Chikuwa demo fu demo nai
― Not quite chikuwa, not quite fu.

Chikuwa (竹輪) is a Japanese tube-like food product made from ingredients such as fish surimi, salt, sugar, starch, monosodium glutamate and egg white. After mixing them well, they are wrapped around a bamboo or metal stick and steamed or broiled. The word chikuwa ("bamboo ring") comes from the shape when it is sliced. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chikuwa)

In Japanese cuisine, the traditional type of wheat gluten is called fu (麩, lit. "gluten"), originated from Jiangnan dialect for ed khaw-fu. In Japan, the two main types of fu are most widely used in Buddhist vegetarian cooking (Shojin ryori) and tea ceremony cuisine (cha-kaiseki 茶懐石). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_gluten_(food)#Japanese)

Chikuwabu is often confused with the fish-based chikuwa, as they are similar in shape and name and are both common ingredients in oden. However, unlike chikuwa, chikuwabu is rarely eaten on its own. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chikuwabu)
