  • misuse of Chinese characters in Western society

    QUOTE
    http://www.hanzismatter.com/2004/12/abusiv...mps-me-out.html

    Shannon Larratt from BMEzine.com emails me this photo submitted by one of his readers. It is a tattoo on the wrist of someone's wife.

    I am very confused about why would anyone tattoo "my abusive husband pimps me out". Is this some sort of advertisement? If so, where is the price list? Perhaps on her lower back?

    The Chinese word for "pimp" is 拉皮條者.

    拉 = pull, drag; seize, hold; lengthen
    夫 = man, male adult, husband
    勢 = power, force; tendency
    賤 = low; cheap, worthless
    人 = man; people; mankind[/b][/quote]

    QUOTE

    Granted the character was done correctly, but the question still remains:

    What is the purpose of having 糞 (excrement; feces) tattooed on one’s leg?[/b][/quote]

    QUOTE

    One young lady's boyfriend emails me this photo and asking what the character really meant. Apparently the young lady was told by the tattooist that the character is Chinese for "magic".

    It would be "Magic", if you want to make cocaine filled balloons disappear by stuff them into your body cavity before the DEA agents arrest you at the border.

    The character 腔 has multiple meanings, and one of them is "body cavity".[/b][/quote]

      Do Chinese people get American characters tattooed on their bodies?

      Mick Jagger is in better shape than far too many NBA players. It's up in the air whether the same can be said of Keith Richards.

        Imagine that? You go over to the far east, hook up with a local, get her shirt off, and she has "Shit Bag" inked across her back.

          . . . and to tell you this: I work with gays, have friends who are gay, go to church with gays. Most of them are aware that I believe that homosexual behavior is sin. Some of them actually agree. Most don't. It's OK . . . because they also know or at least have been made aware of my multitude of sins: adulterous heart, lustful and covetous behavior, wicked pride, angry spirit . . . do I need to go on?
