MIMI ni TACO ga dekiru?
I've been wondering what this phrase means. It's an odd phrase when you think about it, because MIMI=ear, ni=on, TACO=octopus, dekiru=form.
Put that together and it comes out to: "An octopus will form on your ear. "
Now, what is this supposed to mean? It really doesn't make sense to me. I think I'm misunderstanding something. I think maybe the TACO, doesn't mean "octopus," but "callous."
I often come across phrases that don't make sense to me, but my imagination conjures up a meaning for it anyways, and the strangest images come to mind. An octopus forming on your ear? Really, it doesn't make sense.

Ha ha, taco means callous not octopus in this case although when they visually express the phrase like in a comic book, they show octopuses on the ear as a joke.
