Ero Oyaji – “Dirty Old Man”

Literal Translation: “Dirty Old Man” (Ero = “Nasty/Obscene”; Oyaji = “old man”)

Overview
: There is a little “dirty old man” in all of us. You could always buy this shirt for your uncle and tell him it means: “I am a stud”.

Details/Background:
“Ero” is derived from the word “eroticism”, and is used in many cases to mean “dirty”, “nasty” or “obsene”. “Ero-hon” for example means an obscene (erotic) book or magazine.
“ Oyaji” is a common slang-like term for ‘older man’. It is not necessarily a compliment to be called an ‘oyaji’ – girls who are repulsed by older “scummy looking” men will call them an “oyaji” in a derogatory fashion. At the same time, the word Oyaji is used to refer to one’s own father in an informal way (especially by men) – similar to saying in English: “my old man”.

Design Notes: Designed with an older “Edo” style font to give the shirt a sort of gutter-like feel.
