July 13, 2007 at 5:29 AMThanks Amber for taking the time to reinforce my understanding on how to call out an idiot. Today I learned some phrases that I would like to pass on to our community. This tread seems suitable because the follow phrase really aren't on the polite order:) I understand that in Taiwan there are two sayings that express 迷信 (superstition) when seeing a bald person (positive) 十禿九富 (roughly, out of 10 bald people 9 are wealth) (negative)十禿九色 (roughly, out of 10 bald people 9 are 色狼 sex obsessed) Thought this one would help reinforce the discussion about 色狼 The last saying that was rather funny when described to me but really is rather a impolite way of talking about people; 一朵鮮花插在牛糞上 Roughly, this sentence can be said when one sees a couple where there is rather attractive woman matched up with a rather unattractive man. Hence the pretty fresh flowers stuck into a pile of cow dung! Maybe this is something Jiang Liang would say when he sees LiLi with another guy:)

July 12, 2007 at 9:55 PM笨蛋 傻瓜 白痴 腦殘 When it comes to insulting a person's mental and behavioral capacity, these four words seem to be used rather frequently. I was taught, cpod please correct if I miss represent the above words, that the order of severity is as there are listed; 笨蛋 being the most flexible and potentially used as joking or jest to true insulting. 傻瓜 then being used rather like 笨蛋 but generally a bit stronger than stupid egg. (傻瓜 I have heard used in cartoons) 白痴 now the intelligence is not be compared to something else anymore but actually being insulted directly. Seemly growing in use, especially on the internet is the use of 腦殘-there is no room for jesting here, this insult is just plain mean. There might be many ways to translate it, the simplest may being - mentally handicapped or brain damaged. Let us hope we don't see any of these words being used in our discussion areas.

July 9, 2007 at 7:52 PM海寧 你覺得我把高級謎語課搞成一塌糊塗了呢? 我不是故意的. 我以為謎語是一種遊戲.至少謎底是埋在別的地方裡.如果我弄錯了,中文播客可以把我泄漏謎底除掉. 對不起. 我也覺得第三題是最簡單而且我覺得第八題是最困難.
