Chinese Words & Phrases

[Jude Bright]

Thanks for the information JB.

There seems to be some similarity between your suggested slang meaning and my question.

I wonder if there are regional variations coming into play here as well. I am 99.99% sure that "dǎ dufu" is slang for large breasts in Guangdong province. Thus it is possible (even probable?) that "Wǒ xiǎng chī dufu" could mean "I want to feel (eat) your breasts" in GD province. What do you think?

I have only been to Guangzhou once and have never hear that expression.

It usually refers to a man taking advantage of a woman in a sexual situation.

Thanks guys for the corrections. I should be more careful and double check before posting. I have now checked with some c.

P.S. Have you heard of the slang meaning of "Wǒ xiǎng chī dufu"?

Ikksman,
Your advise is highly appreciated but you got it wrong this time. It is just the opposite. Er Bai Wu is the correct word for 250 but as it resembles an offensive word aka idiot people use politely Liang Bai wu.

Either way, it may mean stupid depends on the situation. It is best to use 250 yuan, Liang Bai wu shi yuan or Liang Bai wu shi kuai.

Thanks guys for the corrections. I should be more careful and double check before posting. I have now checked with some colleagues, and unusually, I got some slightly confusing answers. But I hope what I have written below is accurate.

BTW, none could agree on the origin of the 'stupid idiot" term. The one I liked most was about an emperor who had 4 guys responding to claim a 1,000 yuan reward, each claiming to be the guilty party. So the emperor gave them 250 each and then chopped all their heads off!

The general consensus (there are regional differences in interpretation) is:

(a) If one says "Èr bǎi wǔ" when speaking to a person (particularly in S. China), it is derogatory and interpreted as calling that person a stupid idiot.

(b) If one says "Liǎng bǎi wǔ" then this can be interpreted as a swear word, or somewhat derogatory. However, the more complete "Liǎng bǎi wǔ shí" for 250, is OK. Or, as Jude suggests, add the appropriate denomination of quantity, for example "Liǎng bǎi wǔ shí yuán".

Again, comments welcome!

Do not mix that up.

I know that it easy to use fingers to indicate pricing for whole 100's, but if you are negotiating prices for a BBS SYT, you often need to say 150,250 etc.

In this situation never say liǎng bǎi wǔ (两百五). Yes it does mean 250, But Chinese will understand that you called them a stupid idiot.

If you want to say 250, use r bǎi wǔ (二百五). You will survive longer!

我想吃豆腐 Wǒ xiǎng chī dòufu

I have been told this can also mean "I want to feel your breasts"?

Comments?

I am pretty much tone deaf but it has not been that big of a problem. We deal with special situation so the vocabulary is specialized. Harder to be misunderstood.

The tones are my biggest problem.

- snowball <- (how would you describe this?)

I wouldn't.

[Member #4495]

I know some of this.

Lick = tian.

Finger= shouzhi.

How would you say:

- do you swallow?
- dildo
- snowball <- (how would you describe this?)
- fetish
- to suck (ie 'keep sucking the cum out'.)
- to lick (ie 'lick inside my asshole not only the outside'.)
- to finger (ie 'finger yourself'.)

That's all I can think of for now. More later hopefully. Can someone translate these above?

Very nice Kajos.

Filling in some missing pinyin that I google translated.

SM = 上 门 = "up door", outcall service.

This one is 'shang men'.

And I'm guessing 69 you don't say 69 in English but you say it in Chinese. I wonder if it's 'liu shi jiu' (69) or just 'liu jiu' (6.9).

I think ML should be 'zuo ai'.

These are the abbreviations as far as I know. Anyone know better, feel free to add or correct.

Anyone remember how to not use spaces but still get Chinese characters to display instead of having them reverts to unicode numbers?

QM = Q 妹 q mei = qq girl, usually outcall or incall girls who advertise through QQ.

KJ = 口 交 kou jiao = "mouth intercourse", blow job.

TY = 推 油 tui you = oil massage and / or happy ending.

JS = 技 师 ji shi = technician, means massage person or sauna girl.

QT = 全 套 quan tao = full course. Usually something like massage + BJ + fuck and maybe rimming.

DQT = 大 全 套 the quan tao = "big full course" - not sure, maybe like full course but bigger? Supersized?

SM = 性 虐 待 = S&M.

SM = 上 门 = "up door", outcall service...

[Ikksman]

I want a GFE!

Wǒ xiǎng yào nǚxìng péngyǒu jīnglì!

Ikksman.

Today's phrase cong2 liang2 "从良" Means literally (syllable by syllable) from (or to join), good. However it is idiom for "to marry and leave the business" (referring to a prostitute).

I discovered this phrase late last year when I was making some discrete inquiries of a former Shanghai contact (cough).

Was she still in the trade? No. She was married.

I asked did she still do a little business "on the side", so to speak. No, she was "从良".

Keep studying those idioms!

Enjoy and report.
