スリップノット (Surippunotto) is the Japanese way to say the name of the American heavy metal band Slipknot.
How do you pronounce it?
Surippunotto
Did you know?
- While スリップノット is used for the band, the Japanese word for a literal knot 結び目 comes from the verb 結ぶ (musubu), which also means to tie a marriage bond.
- Japanese fans often use the term 激しい (hageshii), meaning 'violent' or 'intense', to describe the sound of スリップノット in a way that is a compliment rather than a criticism.
- If you ask for a 'slipknot' in a Japanese hardware store using the Katakana スリップノット, the clerk might look at you blankly. To find the actual loop in a rope, you must use the native term 引き結び (hikimusubi).
