"crossroads killing" Is this what it means?
I wonder how you pronounce it?

I think the pronunciation is not too difficult, Japanese is quite phonetically consistent.
Another word I like is здравствуйте, which is "hello" in Russian. I like it because it's such an awkward word for native English speakers to pronounce, but it means something so simple.
