Here's an interesting fact for the 日本語 speakers out there.
Ever used the phrase "head honcho"? Ever wondered where that came from? Apparently it's a relic of the large US presence in post-WWII Japan where 班長 was used to refer to the "squad / section / group leader".
@star_zero In English, we often use words that we don't know the origins of. Sometimes their origins are really interesting.
