If they might say "yattokomakase" is long or TOO long,
it doesn't mean they agree with your more generalized

You must haven't heard "Ichi-ni-no-san !", "Oichi-ni, oichi-ni !",
"Ichi-nii-san-shii, nii-nii-san-shi !", "Shuppatu shnkou !",
"Dekasita dai-touryou !" in kabuki, "Hakkeyoi nokotta nokotta !",
"Kyokushuu-zan ganbatte !", "Brava Schwarzkoph" (note not
Bravo), "Hikkome daikon !", "Ato hitori, ato hitori !", "Shinjimae
bokenasu !", "Een'ya-koora dokkoisho !", .........
