We’re all familiar with Apple’s module for voice commands, Siri. Available with Apple mobile devices, which are sold in 14 different countries, Siri is well-known around the world. But things start to get interesting when Siri is used in a language other than its original English.
When said in Japanese, Siri turns into Shiri, which is just one letter off from “Oshiri,” the Japanese word for “butt.” With a name like that, you can imagine what asset the illustrators of the Internet chose to accentuate when drawing the personification of Apple’s personal assistant and knowledge navigator. Just be warned, you might be embarrassed to look at some of these images at work.
▼ Nice oshiri, Siri.
▼ Don’t forget, Siri comes in a male voice, too.
▼ Siri-san looks so dapper!
▼ “This wasn’t the Siri I had in mind”
▼ This Siri personification looks a little like vocaloid, Hatsune Miku.
▼ No oshiri in this one.
▼ “This is exactly how I imagine her.”
▼ Uh…
That last one has got to be our favorite. They really took the Siri/Oshiri similarity to heart.
