7/14    Let's all say it together now: .... *FUCK*
        --chucky
        \_ What would happen if all 1.something billion Chinese all said
           "fuck" together?  -John
           \_ Chinese don't say "fuck".  They say "TaMaDe"!
                \_ I thought "TaMaDe" means "shit" or "damn".
                   I think it should be "DealNay" or "GaNiMa".
                   \_ "fuck" also means "shit" or "damn".  Haven't
                      you watched Four Weddings and A Funeral?
                      \_ yeah, subtitles are pretty funny.  i like when
                         they say "wan ba dan" , or turtles egg, in
                         mandarin, and the subtitle says "asshole:".
                         what else can a translator do?
                        \_ but not the same.  "fuck" has more uses.
                           \_ But "fuck" when used as a standalone word
                              has just one meaning, namely, "shit" or
                              "damn".  That's how John seems to be using
                              it above.  "TaMaDe" also has more than one
                              meaning.  Literally, it means "his/her mom's".
                   \_ "DealNay" is for silly Cantonese boys.  Us Hokkien
                      Ah Beng gangster boys say "NaBe" which is short for
                      "GaNiNaBe" which is short for "GaNiNaBeChowCheeBai".
                        \_ Ok, well that certainly cleared it all up.  Thanks.
                   \_ "TaMaDe" is Mandarin which literally means "his
                      mom ......".  It's short for "TaMaDeChowQuo" which
                      literally means "his mom is a smelly piece of good".
                      "DealNay" is Cantonese which literally means "fuck you".
                      "GaNiMa" is Mandarin and should really be "GanNiMa" or
                      "GanNiLian", which literally means "do your mom".
        \_ Vietnamese: *DUMA*
