bachi
Local Word of the Day LWOD is "bachi." Locals version of bad karma. Slam any local with this word before they do something they shouldn't do, and they might think twice (Just make sure you not the instigator). Be care full of what you do for wrong reasons: calling in sick to work when you not sick; making fun of handicap people; yelling at people for going slow in traffic. Before they know it, Bachi people will more than likely get sick, become handicap or get into an accident.

This is not Hawaiian,just another way to disguise a foreign word as ours.Japanese is not Hawaiian.try learninghawaiiansince u live hea. Hawaiian is Hawaiian.get it straight.there is a phrase in Hawaiian describing this idea. Bachi indicates something negative,a wish for bad to happen. karma is just karma. Light or dark it is all karma. Karma is not a buzzword. Nam myoho renge kyo.
Types of Kapu
There were kapu about nearly everything in Hawaiian life. For example, when fishers were lashing their hooks, everyone in the community had to keep quiet. Other kapu did not allow women to eat certain kinds of food, regulated the building of a house, a canoe, or heiau, birth and death ceremonies, and many other activities (see back for more examples.)
Penalties for breaking kapu
Penalties were severe for breaking kapu. The law officer (‘ilamuku) hunted down kapu breakers and saw to it that they were put to death by strangulation, clubbing, stoning, burning, or drowning. There was no trial, no probation, no compassion. Often, guilty kapu breakers caused their own death before the ‘ilamuku got to them. They knew that the gods were tremendously powerful and this affected their thinking.
Pu’uhonua o’ Honaaunau on the Big Island of Hawai’i.
There was one place of safety to keep the kapu system from being overly demanding – the pu’uhonua (place of refuge and forgiveness) which was established in each moku (district). If a kapu breaker was able to reach the pu’uhonua ahead of those seeking to kill him or her, the kahuna would then provide shelter, protection, and forgiveness. The kapu breaker could
then reenter the community in safety. The gods would have been satisfied through the prayers and rituals of the kahuna.

So dumb. It says local word of the day, not Hawaiian. Try go back school and learn how fo read. And he said bad karma. Japanese definition says karma but negative connotations, i.e. BAD KARMA.
The All Knowing GOOGLE has several links defining the word BACHI. The way it's applied here in Hawaii is exclusive to Hawaii. SO... while it's NOT a Hawaiian word, it is a Hawaii word.
