I used to be a boxer

I got in the taxi at Kanayama. This was one of the younger drivers and he was full of angst and hormonal energy. He used to be a boxer and it seemed like his past had permeated his present job. It's the closest that I have come to seeing a driver calling someone else a wanker. Japanese don't really use curse words in the same way as the Irish. It's more like "baka yaro".
