April 22, 2008 at 8:14 AMThat's funny to see wikipedia making links between 愤青 and 粪青 :o) Fenqing (Traditional: 憤青; Simplified: 愤青; Pinyin: Fènqīng), or "FQ" (abbreviation), which is itself an abbreviation for Fennu Qingnian (Traditional: 憤怒青年; Simplified: 愤怒青年; Pinyin: Fènnù Qīngnián), means literally "angry young men" or "angry youth". It mainly refers to youth who display a high level of Chinese nationalism. This term first appeared in Hong Kong in the 1970s, referring to those young people who were not satisfied with Chinese society and sought reform. It has now evolved into a term used exclusively in Internet slang. Whether fenqing is derogatory or not usually depends on the person. Critics describe them with negative terms including "粪青"[citation needed](lit. "shit-youth" or "idiotic youth", same pronunciation), which can be changed further to "fenfen" (Chinese: 粪粪; pinyin: fènfèn) as a derogatory nickname. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenqing
