Self coined Chinese words

September 13, 2010 at 11:56 AM posted in General DiscussionHave you ever coined a Chinese word? ok,I'm not asking for anything that has made it into the language ,been officially recognised,or even published anywhere.I'm just asking for anything you've either made up and left it at that or something you've added to your own vocab at home or amongst mates [I mean a lot of people do that in their native tongue right?].Anyhow,if you have ..great if you could share by posting here,if not,why not give it a shot and add them here.

"road rage" maybe? I guess that's a possibility for coining because from the sounds of it, the Chinese don't do road rage. At least that seems to be the message, I'm not sure how true it is.

I find it hard enough reading real chinese. Reading made up chinese is enough to make me cry!

ok,well meaning wise it was meant to comprise the idea that while they might have started flying high,in the end it was all brought down to earth stuff...kept in check..kept real.It is at the same time somewhat of a transliteration of a classic aussie term.Still no takers?

I've got a few atually, but my favorite is the following (a bit vulgar so don't read if easily offended);
鸡巴衣服

pretzellogic & xiao_liang - I use it as a vulgar slang term for 避孕套。
鸡巴 is a slang term for the male anatomy, but as changye clearly states, it's very rude way of saying.

That's not a bit vulgar, but rather vulgar, so it's best not to use it in front of native Chinese guys.

Using my awesome powers of translate (read: mandarin-tools.com and google translate) it reads as chicken hope clothes. Or cock clothes. Or... nope, no idea.

Transliterations don't count, okay? Leave that to the native speakers.

狗早饭
