強引

gouin
pushy, aggressive, overbearing

I guess these characters never really made sense together in my mind: 強, which is the character used for the adjective, 強い (tuyoi, strong, powerful), and 引 , which is the character used for the verb, 引く (hiku, to pull). But I guess I can see how a 'powerful pulling' could relate to being 'overbearing'...
