## Jukugo

撲滅(ぼくめつ) する | eradicate ☆☆☆☆☆ 撲 (eradicate) + 滅 (annihilate) = 撲滅 (eradicate) eradicate (a pest or disease) 'The new task force will eradicate drugs once and for all!'
相撲(すもう) | Sumo ☆☆☆☆☆ CCW FP 相 (partner) + 撲 (eradicate) = 相撲 (Sumo) Sumo. I've seen a bunch of of straight porn featuring 'sexy sumo wrestler girls,' but I've been unable to find a single gay sumo porn. Which either means, a) gay dudes think sumo are trolls, b) gay dudes have too much respect for the manliness of Sumo to do a x-rated parody, or c) gay dudes just jerk it to regular sumo on the tube for free.
