It's some apocryphal, bastardized English term.

Hmm, I guess I spelled it wrong. Oh well, I'm not infallible.
Anyway, check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku
Or was that question just the setup for a joke?

I thought it was this thing where you slice your stomach and your entrails come out of your body... or something...

Ojbara is a regular exclamation of slight surprise in Icelandic! Think of the possible cultural misunderstandings!

Hara Kiri is used when you have dishonoured your lord or whatever and Seppuku is used to avoid capture in battle.
That is why they are both confused because both are self sacrifice while one is honour and the other is to defend your secrets.
Hope that cleared stuff up.
:EDIT: Actually dont take this for granted but im sure it is  |
