アレ
are
🇯🇵 Japanese slang from Osaka
What does “アレ” mean?
'that thing' = the championship
Example
“今年もアレ、いけるで！”
kotoshi mo are, ikeru de!
We can do 'that thing' again this year!
Good to know
In 2023 the Tigers' manager called the title アレ ('that') so as not to jinx it. They won, and it became Japan's word of the year.
Who you can say it to
Fine with anyone
😮 Reactions🎉 Going out
