The (over?) use of "yabai" in Japanese isn’t something everyone here celebrates. There are those sounding the alarm about the perceived diminishment of Japanese youths’ vocabularies; in other words, some people think things are getting quite yabai out there.

🇫🇷 Il y a le débat sur la « virilité du #barbecue ». Et puis il y a la colonel Anne-Laure Michel, 44 ans. Elle vient de prendre le commandement de la base à vocation nucléaire d'Istres et devient la première femme à commander la base aérienne @125_base. Bravo 👏
