Atamaji
暇

暇

On reading: KA
Kun reading: hima

The character for having nothing to do. It is not always a compliment.

When “暇” fills a head

Why it is in the set

Because 休 is rest you wanted and 暇 is time you did not know what to do with, and those are different enough to be worth two characters. 暇 gives the generator a way to describe an afternoon that went nowhere, which is a real and under-described state.

What a head full of it looks like

An empty evening that somehow disappeared. Opening the same three apps in a loop. Being bored and also unwilling to do any of the things that would fix it. A head led by 暇 has time and no plan for it.

Words that use it

暇 (hima, spare time, idleness), 暇つぶし (himatsubushi, killing time), 余暇 (yoka, leisure), 休暇 (kyuuka, a holiday from work), 暇人 (himajin, a person with too much time — jokingly).

Kanji it turns up with

本 (books) behind 暇 is the version where something gets done. 無 (nothing at all) behind it is the version where nothing does.

Where “暇” comes from

The sun radical 日 on the left, and 叚 on the right for the sound KA. Time, essentially: daylight with nothing in it.

暇 (hima) in Japanese is closer to “idle” than to “free”. Telling someone 暇そうだね, “you look like you have time on your hands”, is mildly rude.

暇をつぶす is to kill time, and it is the most common thing the word appears in.

A line you might get for “暇”

“Nothing on. Scrolling anyway.”

Count the “暇” in your own head

Others in “Everyday”

“暇” is filed under “Everyday”. These are the rest of that group.

This is entirely a joke and has nothing to do with any real person.
