| bake our heads into it ハイになる (see explanation) Explanation: Without a bit more context it's a bit of a guesswork, but here goes: "cheese cake" can be a codeword for weed (marihuana): http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cheese cake "to get baked", "to bake" can be a slang term for "to smoke weed/get stoned": http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bake All in all, the above dialogue has a good chance of being codespeak (is this even a word? ;)) for: Girl: I got some weed Boy: Reaaly? Why (shouldn't this be "what by the way?) do you say we... Girl: Get stoned? Boy: You just read my mind How to translate it to Japanese so that it retains that "we're talking about baking, but actually we just want to get high" feel though? I have no idea. How you translate it to Japanese though so it still sounds like a joke/slang -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2008-03-02 06:04:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Uhh, forgot to delete the last line, disregard it. |
