Time to clear out some more of those bookmarks from my dictionary
猫かぶり - ねこかぶり - feigned innocence (an interesting idiom combining the words for cat and to put something on (a hat for example). Perhaps literally putting on a cat face?
出世 - しゅっせ - the kanji for to go out and the world / life together mean advancement or success in life, something we are all searching for?
単刀直入 - たんとうちょくにゅう - kanji: simple + cut + straight + enter = to speak plainly or bluntly.
一世一代 - いっせいちだい - literally: one life one time, so: once in a lifetime.
せこい - small-minded, petty, cheap. A student jokingly told me I was せこい for emphasizing the importance of correct spelling. At least I think she was joking...
困惑 - こんわく = 当惑 - とうわく - to be dismayed, perplexed, embarrassed or confused.
居心地 - いごこち - to be comfortable, snug, to feel at home.
居心地が悪い - いごこちがわるい - to be uncomfortable or ill at ease.
