frank1538 Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 QUOTE (Se_Lang @ Sep 27 2003, 10:46 AM) Maybe we should start a new topic under the language and culture area and collect all the pet names we all use that could be a good laugh Ok, I'll start. rover, fido, rex, kitty... Let's see, other than lao po and lao gong, Jingwen is not much on pet names. She does call me ox man because of my birth date, and I call her tiger, again birth related. Euphemisms are more her style. didi hao ma? Link to comment

MaggieSomeone once said that the real definition of love was "not having to leave the room to fart". Do Americans really fart more than Chinese? Or are the Chinese just more subtle, raising up on cheek and easing out a silent but deadly blast? I met a number of Chinese who could really let fly. Link to comment

Americans do fart more than Chinese B) 2. You are right on this. Chinese have more concern on their "faces". Well...I think this is part of our culture. B) Maggie Link to comment
