The word
puutarou has a
bad image that in most cases is well deserved. It refers to a person that does nothing. No job, no school, no nothing. They get money from parents, friends, and boyfriends / girlfriends. I have a few friends that are
puutarou so I can't say much!!!
The word puutarou is written is a combination of katakana and kanji. Sometimes puutarou is shortened to just "pu".
