  • This reminds me of an Ogden Nash verse (admittedly back to front):

    Sure, deck your lower limbs in pants:

    Yours are the legs, my sweeting.

    You look divine as you advance;

    Have you seen yourself retreating?

  • From English back + German schön "beautiful", weirdly compounded in Japanese. As a (supposedly) foreign word it is written in katakana.

  • Weird, but it works so well!
