4/9     How do you say "Please cover your mouth when you cough." in Mandarin?
        Thanks.
        \_ Untranslatable. Similarly impossible phrases include:
           "No spitting."
           "Do not cut in line."
           "Ching chong ling long ting tong." (I don't actually know what that
            means.)
            \_ Wow. this makes me all sorts of sadpanda.

           \_ Would finding out how it's _written_ in kanji work?  At least
              then you could write it out.  I'm pretty sure those phrases
              exist in japanese.
           \_ (To another standing bus passenger) "Don't rub your penis on my
              buttock."

I'm guessing this is not the reaction she had in mind when she posted the damn thing. But let me reiterate: I do not condone harassment or retribution towards Ms Wallace. death threats are seriously out of line, and don't help anyone. However, I do welcome creative and intelligent ridicule. song by Jimmy Wong, inspired by Alexandra's ching chongs, ling longs and ting tongs. Sort of in the vibe of Jemaine's tunes from Flight of the Conchords.
