        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi <strong>all</strong></p>
<p>骂人 is a tricky word to explain in English. I've translated it here as &ldquo;to flip people off." This is a special occasion, because we're talking about sticking up your middle finger.</p>
<p>But Chinese uses 骂人 for parents scolding their children, or taxi drivers cursing at slow drivers. Probably the best general definition would be "to yell at."</p>
<p>"Flipping the bird" is a serious gesture in North America. I'd love to hear about rude hand gestures in poddies' home countries. Better yet, you can explain them in Chinese!</p>
