Is it the monetary unit of Japan? “Let’s add it up, a condom, a can of whipped cream and a copy of War and Peace; that will be 3 yen.”
Is it half a busybody or an incorrigible gossip? “She’s a Yen-TA.”
Is it a craving for some food? Hannibal Lecter “I have a yen for your liver with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti.”
It is all these things…and more!
