谢谢你。 告诉你'college student'是美国的英语，对美国人我觉得是university的意思，可是对澳洲人不是university的意思， 对英国人还有别的英语说人我不一定。

囧！In my experience, 囧 tends to represent embarrassment or awkward surprise. (if that makes any sense) But I'm sure it's actually quite versatile.

The title “考考老外的中文水平” just reminds me of an etymological episode about the two characters, “考” and “老”. Actually, “老” (lao) is the original character of “考” (kao). In other words, both characters are originated in the same character, “老”, in oracle bone scripts （甲骨文）. In this sense, that is a well thought-out title, hehe.
