What about these "pharmdrugs" I've heard about in the hawkier spaces of these forastreets?

All lies. There is no such thing as pharmdrugs.
This isn't a cover-up.

I feel like D&D's preferred terminology of 'encounter' is appropriate there.

Schazer crowdsources workstuff time!
One of the teachers in charge of a sports team was looking for an English phrase for the back of the soccer team's tour shirts. The phrase was 総合性専門高校 (sou-gou-sei sen-mon kou-kou), where I already knew senmon koukou/専門高校 is technical high school - sougousei was turning up a blank for me. Weblio spits out "synthesis" for 総合性, where I vaguely knew the -sei (性) on the end refers to character, nature, personality. Think of it like -like or -esque or -natured suffixes. so I need to localise "総合-type Technical High School." Weblio's page for 総合 is here. My high school is a technical high school/trade school, and is characterised by its broad range of trades (agriculture, business+marketing, machinery, electronics, IT, welfare+occupational therapy+aged care+etc). What kind of technical high school would you suggest? The following were some ideas I had: -Combined -Mixed -Integrated -Comprehensive -Amalgamated -Merged

Comprehensive feels like it'd be the best fit by far, both defintionally and from the sound of the entire phrase. Only problem is Comprehensive (School) might be a bit of a loaded phrase educationally speaking considering that's whatsimply non-selective high schools are called in the UK.
Where are they going to be touring? i.e. Is that cultural association something that could even come up/you should be worried about?

"Consolidated" sounds technical.

So does amalgamated. Like its a kid factory or something.
I agree with deens, Comprehensive sounds best?

Combined is my runner-up, Consolidated sounds like you have less subjects than usual not more :B

@Deens: They're gonna be at the island? State? championship, or somesuch. I doubt it's going to reach much of a non-Japanese speaking populace, but the only cultural associations that seemed needing dodging were, like:
-Integrated, considering generally it's thought of as "the opposite of segregated" particularly in American English (which predominates here) -Merged because I thought it implied a co-ed school, which doesn't even work because sports teams are distinctly not co-ed -Mixed somehow invokes both of the above, so, nah, -Amalgamated sounds like we were the first school in Japan to fuck up the singularity -Combined was my first suggestion, Comprehensive has positive connotations if you aren't familiar with any British associations

Yeah I had the same feeling re: comprehensive (positive connotations if you're not British, also relays what that adjective originally is the best I think) so I guess that's got my vote then?

Frankly British people suck at queuing based on my experience at London Heathrow.

I started listening to Welcome to Nightvale, a series of recordings that tell the tale of Nightvale, a town infested in dark horrors that everyone pretends are normal. It is hilarious, and I recommend it.
Link to first episode.
