Koohii Story 1 Some jackass-like people have way too much spare time. You can find video´s of them all over the internet, if you like such things, you can watch it all day. You see them stapling their mouths shut, or throwing eachother upside down in boxes or kicking each other in the crotch.
Koohii Story 2 Tip: The complex right side of this kanji appears twice more in Heisig. He later names it "hobby". REF: shrimp (#2689), haze (#2779).
