無礼講
의미: A party where ranks are dropped and everyone can speak freely — but in practice, the formalities never truly disappear.
無礼講 is declared at company parties and gatherings to encourage relaxed socialising across hierarchical levels. However, it is widely understood as a social trap — saying something too casual to your boss during 無礼講 can still have consequences on Monday. The ironic gap between the stated rule and actual practice makes 無礼講 a frequent topic of workplace humour.
예문
- 今日は無礼講でいきましょう！って部長が言ってた。 部长说了，今天咱们不分上下尽情喝吧！El director dijo: «¡Hoy sin jerarquías, pasadlo bien!».오늘은 무례코(무례 허용)로 합시다! 라고 부장이 말했어.
- 無礼講って言われても上司に本音は言えないよね。 就算说了不分尊卑，也不敢跟上司说真心话啊。Aunque te digan que no hay jerarquías, no puedes decirle la verdad al jefe, ¿no?무례코라고 해도 상사한테 본심은 못 말하잖아.
- 無礼講を真に受けて失敗した人を何人も見てきた。 我见过太多把'不分尊卑'当真然后翻车的人了。He visto a mucha gente meter la pata por tomarse en serio lo de «sin jerarquías».무례코를 진짜로 믿고 실패한 사람을 여러 명 봤어.

흔한 실수
- Taking 無礼講 literally and acting without any restraint — the social hierarchy is merely softened, not eliminated
- Not understanding the ironic humour around 無礼講 — most Japanese people are aware of the contradiction
