What if...
...something went terribly wrong and our boys landed themselves not in the 16th century Japan (like in Batman Ninja), but in the 17th? So, during the Edo Period, when Japan isolated itself, no Japanese people where allowed abroad and the only Europeans let in were the Dutch East India Company employees secreted on a small island in the Nagasaki Bay?
Nightwing: *takes off his domino mask*
A group of samurai: *gasps* Southern barbarian!
Red Robin: NOOOO, it's okay, his mother used to work 'selling water' in Nagasaki!
A group of samurai: Oh, okay. *goes away*
Nightwing & Red Hood & Robin: WHUT.
Red Robin: *sticking his nose up* I implied Dick's mother used to work in red light district in Nagasaki and entertained Dutch traders. So Dick's half Dutch, hence his eye colour.
Nightwing: *freaks out*
Red Hood: For once, I commned your nerdy ways. But hey, how come we didn't get that? Aren't we all under a translation spell or some shit?
Red Robin: *shrugs* I don't know? It's a high context language, so maybe 'some shit' doesn't cover euphenisms?
Red Hood: Then how are we supposed to NOT give ourselves away? When we don't get what people are REALLY saying?
Red Robin: *grins* Oh no, YOU have nothing to worry about. We'll just tell everyone you're a village idiot.
Robin: XD
