I had an idea for the start.
Let's try that.
MAIDO it's Cathy Cat - And Hayappe yo.
I will randomly throw a quiz at you here.
What?
What's your name? - Hayappe.
Where are you from? - Osaka.
How old are you?
25 years old.
Are you single?
- I am married.
What's your hobby?
I like baseball.
Oh I see.
On that note, what are we doing today?
I made another quiz for your again Cathy.
Sorry that's why I wanted to do a reversed Quiz just now.
Oh that was what that was all about!
It's an Osaka Quiz so everyone be sure to join in.
Be sure to give it a go!
First one, what is a Motor Pool?
That's Osaka Dialect? - It is!
Isn't that English? It's actually Osaka dialect.
The first thing I was thinking off is...
You see those at Japanese festivals a lot but...
There is a long rounded pool that has water going round it.
You drop noodles into it and a motor makes the noodles go round
And you catch the noodles with chopsticks.
You mean Nagashi soumen. - Yeah.
That is a motor and a pool. - But not a Motor pool.
Well then it is...
Guys guess with me. I am sure many of you don't know Motor pool means.
While I am still guessing, please write what you think it means.
Motor Pool.
A normal swimming pool which has a motor with it,
and it makes the water go round and people swim in it.
I see. A pool with a motor.
A pool that creates a current.
It all goes round, that's the kind of pool we mean, right?!
WRONG
Totally AKAN.
Let me give you a hint.
My hint would be...
Put it in the motor pool please.
Where is the motor pool?
Is there a motor pool around here?
There are many motor pool around Tokyo.
What!?
In Tokyo there are many motor pool?
Yeah so many.
They are all over, here and there.
Let me give you a big hint. Next to a department store is a motor pool.
It has nothing to do with water, whatsoever.
Is that so? I thought the department store has a pool next to it.
Swim there after being tired from too much shopping.
After you are tired from shopping, you don't go swimming.
Motor Purupuru (something shaking)
Purupurumotorpurupururu....
I know it's a massage chair!
Totally wrong.
I am starting to admire your imagination.
It's outside the department store. - It's generally outside.
You have it next to department stores.
I know! Motor Bike! It's for motor bikes...
and you park them there.
Which means it's a....?
It's a parking lot?
You got it! - Sweet.
I finally got it!
In Kanto (Tokyo) people say Chuushajyou.
Yes I know that word.
In Osaka we all call it Motor pool.
That kind of motor, right I got it.
Why is it a pool?
It has the meaning of accumulating something.
It's a place where we accumulate cars and bikes and such.
So that's why it's a motor pool.
Okay that way Motor Pool. I hope you guys had ...
some funny ideas what that actually could mean.
Please leave us comments about what motor pool could actually mean.
If you want to give this quiz to other people
share the link maybe on Facebook or SNS or somewhere where other people can
try and find out if they can figure out what motor pool is.
I like it when English words get a different meaning in Japan.
It's always very funny I enjoy that.

Osakaben which is the dialect that is spoken in the region of Osaka.
