General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | English term or phrase: eating till your gut explodes | Apparently, there is a local expression in Osaka, which means eating till your gut explodes.
Unfortunately, the phrase/ word itself is omitted in my original dialogue list.
It sounds like 'qui-do-eye".
What I need is a transcription into Latin alphabet, so the voiceover actor can read it properly, the way it should sound in Japanese.
For all your help many thanks in advance. |
