Free Association thread 6

I needed bits and pieces of Chinese for the story I’m currently writing. As a placeholder, I used the Google translated versions until I could check with M’lady. She thought they were absolutely hilarious. “Slut” became “Lazy Woman”, for instance.

I wonder how many of the truly bad Chinese character tattoos on non Chinese speakers started with Google translated English.

We should, perhaps, take into account the way the language is used.
Do the Chinese have an expression for what is considered a 'slut' in the USA ?

The captain of the rowing club was getting married and, as the wedding party emerged from the church, a dozen or so other members formed a guard of honour with their blades.

Florrie and Edna had arrived outside the church early to ensure they got a good view.

‘Ooh! Look at them oars,’ Florrie said, as the rowers raised their blades.

‘Eh, them’s not ‘ores,’ her friend said. ‘Them’s bridesmaids.’

Oh, the old ones are the best. . . .

Actually, it does. Several, but the one M’lady thought most similar to the English meaning appears as Google’s translation of “trollop” - D’ang F’u, as close as I can manage on my phone - and a Chinese to English on Google does return “slut”

What?

There are probably dozens of movies our there with some variation of that very plot. Do you mean that they’re not reliable relationship guides?

What happens in the realm of the movies is always a bit of a mystery, and bears little resemblance to real life.
Sad, ain't it

Yeah, that whole "hunky cop with handcuffs" fantasy goes right out the window when it's real life. ;)

As Toni Tennille said (all those years ago): 'Do that to me one more time'

And she was someone for whom one could & would do it. . . . .

Incidentally, I think that the "shooby-dooby" lady in pink was quite pretty. . . .

A nice shape at the back, so to speak. . . . . . .

Official disclaimer: I have never sold a tea kettle on eBay. :)

A bloody good find, that !

Nah; it was sold by the time I got there. . . .

There was a short period of time back in the late 1990s during eBay's "Wild West Days" when you could run across listings for "Used Unwashed Underwear" on a regular basis. The prices the "naturally scented undies" were bringing was quite often astounding.

eBay finally banned the listing of such items when it came out that one of the largest sellers of those items was in fact a group of grandmas who had discovered it was an easy way to pile up cash for casino trips.

Score one for the little old ladies! :D

The scary thing is that there's probably a market for those with buyers who know exactly what they're getting . . .

Human sexuality is not only stranger than you imagine . . . it's stranger than you can imagine.

But humans clearly do imagine it.
