No, but in Japanese "husband" and "master" are somewhat interchangeable!

I wouldn't say the Japanese colloquial terms for wife are that much better 奥さん, lit. at-the-back (of the house), or 家内, lit. in-the-house, or just the classic うち, lit. house.

I specifically remember getting marked down on a test for translating goshujin (without the sama) as "master". That teacher was kinda weird, though. She didn't just mark it as wrong, she wrote "NO! HUSBAND!!" next to it in red ink. I was kind of bitter about it but it also made me lol.

And for the record it was just the word on its own, without the context of a sentence. Buncha bullshit!

Irl, our generation says 旦那さん danna-san for husband. It also means patron. Wife is usually 嫁 yome.

ご主人 goshujin is too formal, used in speeches.
夫 oto is too formal, used on paperwork (but technically most accurate)
旦那さん danna-san patron and provider.

A tv show recently explained the different words for wife.
奥さん okusan used by servants to describe a noble wife.
家内 kanai used by outsiders to describe a noble wife.
嫁 yomei used by in-laws to describe son's bride.
妻 tsuma all-purpose most accurate wife description.

ok have a nice day

Edit: now that i listen to it with sound I think maybe it's fake, someone's definitely added some sound effects in. However this article does have footage of a real match where a "tai chi master" gets knocked TF out by an amateur boxer, skip ahead to around 2:00 in the video.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

To defend Tai Chi:

I think it's a cool and good thing for old people to do. It gets them outside, exercising and stretching in a non-harsh, non-impact way. It can be calming and soothing and a relaxing thing to do to relieve stress and minor aches. All of which is better and healthier than doing nothing.

However, as an actual practical martial art, or indeed a Chinese propaganda "We are so mystical and great and better than you!" propaganda tool, it can get hosed.

Jesus H Christ. Dad thinks t**** is good. Thinks Antifa (Ignoring why and their function) setting fire to some stuff and BLM more damaging to the US than last 4 years of t****. Yet thinks the HK protest is good(including setting fires) as they fight a system that has completely lost the trust of the people by trashing elections. Thinks Democrats "Stole the election" with zero evidence and every court having thrown out every case with some judges giving the legal version of "gently caress off". Doesn't understand t**** and republicans are doing their utmost to undermine the election thus democracy which is super bad. Can't trust mainstream media because they aren't "Centralist or fair". I could go on, like holy gently caress poo poo.
