Japanese for "
cold". Unlike
tsumetai, samui refers to the
atmosphere's
temperature.
When the weather is cold, that's "samui".
When a joke falls flat, that's "samui".
People sometimes say "samu~", with a
drawn out "oo"-sound for
effect; sometimes they say "sabu." with an
abrupt and short "oo", to sound like
old-school Japanese people.
