genk up


term adopted from j-panese into the english used chiefly by j-pan-dwelling gaijin, meaning to overcome, by will, a deficiency in genkiness, i.e. the degree of being genki, where genki has the j-panese meaning of possessing high degree of health, vitality and/or energy.

use of this term has nothing to do with being wapanese if used by an expat living in j-pan or when conversing with current or former inhabitants of j-pan.

not to be confused with any of the definitions provided of genk (or any other english language terms adopted from non-j-panese language origin).
whaddya mean you’re not drinking tonight? genk the f-ck up, man! (in this sense, compare harden up, harden the f-ck up)

ahh, you’re sick, huh? hope you genk up soon!
