Lao-gong

[warpedbored]

I am by no means an authority on the subject but I can say my wife dislikes the term lao po. Whether it is because she is highly educated and comes from a good family or if it is generational I'm not sure Usually I call her "Tai Tai" which she tolerates. Interestingly enough though I have heard her say "lao gong" when talking to other Chinese women.

My wife doesn't like it either. That's why I never use it. I use 'qizi' instead.

She told me a long time ago that 'lao po' is not proper; not elegant. It's like calling your wife 'the old lady' or 'the old ball and chain.'

That's the way I understand it.

I asked Ping, and she said that too much discussion. K1 or K3 both done deal, marriage in hand. Lao Po and Lao Gong okay.

 

 

 

Old lady is more correctly called Lao Po Po, and old man is Lao Gong Gong. She said Lao Po is made trendy in china today thru Hong Kong TV. Plus, many of the others words we have seen here in this post are regional dialects or regional favorites.

When I am needed or am supposed to fix something it is usually Marka!!

that's good to know! When I asked my honey about lao po she was flattered that I learned how to say wife? Then she said I would be lao gong....works for me!

This song is more like talking about the friendship between those 3 girls, not really "Lao Gong and Lao Po" relationship. The Lyric says "Friends and sisters are not not enough to describe how close we are. Lao Po, Lao Po, Let's hood the pinkies and promise...." This is a very cute song also

Jim, would you please ask her to give lessons to Ping for me. I could use the good press.

 

Lee ... I'm truly sorry but this is a name usually reserved for us younger guys.
