聞くは一時の恥、聞かぬは一生の恥

12年以上アメリカに住んでるのにこんなことがわからないのかとあきれられるかも知れませんが、聞くは一時の恥と思ってお尋ねします。
”アラフォー”は何の略語なんでしょう?40歳代の人のことを意味してるのはわかるのですが、どの英語の略語なんでしょうか?自分ではもしかして”After Forty"を何度も早く言うと”アラフォー”になるのでは?と考えています。きっと違うと思うのですが。
後、"ロハス”も、よく雑誌とかに"ハワイでロハス”と載ってますが、これは英語なのでしょうか?長い間アメリカにいるのですが、アメリカ人からこの単語を聞いたことがないような気がするのは気のせいでしょうか?よろしくお願いします。

まあ確かに「聞くは一時の恥、聞かぬは一生の恥」ですが、WikipediaとかGoogleで調べればほとんど出てきますから、ここに書き込む5分くらいの時間は省けるし、恥も一時でもかかなくて済みますよ。
ちなみに、
LOHAS(ロハス、ローハス)とはLifestyles Of Health And Sustainability (健康と持続可能性の(若しくはこれを重視する)ライフスタイル)の略。健康や環境問題に関心の高い人々のライフスタイルを営利活動に結びつけるために生み出されたビジネス用語である。

最後の質問「長い間アメリカにいるのですが、アメリカ人からこの単語を聞いたことがないような気がするのは気のせいでしょうか?」への答えもWikipediaにあります。(以下抜粋)
アメリカでは「LOHAS」という言葉はビジネス用語として普及しており、一般消費者にはほとんど知られていない。一般消費者向けの「LOHAS」という言葉は、日本で最も普及しており、次いでアジア各国(韓国、台湾など)から発信されていると言える。

アラフォーというのは「Around 40」の略です。去年、日本で天海祐希主演で作られたドラマから来ています。アラフォーはたしか、その年の流行語大賞を取ったんです。
