what does it mean to committ harry carrie?

Question

I heard someone say "That makes me wanna comitt harry carrie" What is that a reference to and what does it mean?

Answer 1

It was the way Japanese soldiers committed suicide rather than risk being captured and dishonor their country. They pretty much took a knife and disemboweled themselves. Also known as Sppuku. From Wikipedia:

Seppuku (Japanese: 切腹, "cutting the belly") is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment.

Seppuku is also known as hara-kiri (腹切り, "belly-cutting") and is written with the same kanji as seppuku but in reverse order with an okurigana. In Japanese, hara-kiri is a colloquialism, seppuku being the more formal term. Samurai (and modern adherents of bushido) would use seppuku, whereas ordinary Japanese (who in feudal times as well as today looked askance at the practice) would use hara-kiri. Hara-kiri is the more common term in English, where it is often mistakenly rendered "hari-kari."

The practice of committing seppuku at the death of one's master is known as oibara (追腹 or 追い腹); the ritual is similar.
