THE SOUND OF 1000 LINGUISTS AGREEING

I can't imagine who would do such a thing, or where, but somebody got 1000 linguists together (must have been quite a Babel in itself), asked them which were the three hardest words to translate... I don't think their first choice holds a candle to wabi or sabi, just off the top of my head. And Japan only came in third with a Kansai miniword that translates roughly as "ain't that fer sher"? They should try chewing on sukkiri as opposed to sappari for a while.
