        JS in Japan can mean elementary schoolgirls.

        But I swear Google used to be smarter than this. It’s the training data from 4chan that poisoned its understanding of the world, surely.

          How’d they get JS from shougakusei? Or wait, is that like “junior school” or something, to obscure its meaning further?
