If I would call those crackers "sembei" I would be looked at blankly in 99 out of 100 stores and restaurants. Same with "ocha", "shouyu", etc.

In Japan, we had a difficult time getting ANYONE to recognize our pronunciation of “Mc Donalds.” We needed a translator!

BTW – if you "talk" to Cami again, you should suck in your gut, since there is a high "babe factor" there!

And – changing the subject again – Chinese herb I take contains earthworms. Pleasant thought. I recognized the Latin name on the list of ingredients (from my biology major days at college,) and, reluctantly, the acupuncturist reassured me that they are indeed in the mix but that they are very nutritious. No wasps, though – but then I don't remember their Latin name.
