2. Tondemo-bon​Tondemo means "outrageous" or "preposterous" + bon "book" in Japanese. Recently the word has gained another meaning thanks to the activity of Togakkai (the Academy of Tondemo books) which annually award Nihon Tondemo-bon Taisho (Japan Tondemo Book Award), which is a sort of combination of Razzie, Ig Nobel Prize and James Randi Foundation. Tondemo-bon is defined by the academy as "something amusing from a perspective that differs from what the author intends.
