I took two years of Japanese in college, but I'm sure I wouldn't be able to help...

So where's the question? Now I'm interested...
I was thinking, not too long ago, about looking for Japanese classes again. Always wished I was able to spend time in Japan to really learn the language. Too bad I'm out of school now.

OK. Here is the "phrase" I'm interested in:

I probably am not going to spell this right (I can only do it phoenetically):

"Bato" or "Bado" also possible "Bato-Bato" or "Bado-Bado".

Thanks.

I didn't see anything more than what redish posted. Did find this interesting site to some Japanese slang:

This site doesn't give much info on the Japanese snack, but maybe it'll help:

As Wikipdeia says, bado is a type of wagashi, which is a general term, similar to daifuku.

Daifuku is a soft rice cake stuffed with a sweet filling.

Draw your on conclusions.
