August 31, 2007, 03:25 PMA better shirt would read "我能听懂." John, print a couple of these out and I'll definitely buy them. =) Better yet, some comfy sweaters or scarves so I can stock up for the long winter looming around the corner.

August 27, 2007, 03:47 PMFunny shirt : ) I like it. But, Bazza, you can't wear that one because you DO 看懂. You should wear the other one, the "那個 plz" shirt when you show up in Shanghai (and just point at everything.) That'd be funny!

August 27, 2007, 06:16 PMI thought it would be funny to proof it wrong. ;) If the other one means what I thing it's suppose to, it's a little bit too racist.

August 27, 2007, 06:19 PMHmmm, I think "那個 plz" means "that one please" or perhaps I am just too naive; I don't know what else it could mean.

August 27, 2007, 06:46 PMto get what he means you just have to think of an old, bad, english word to call people with an not milky and not middle-european teint. For an exacter description ask again (or look at a picture with Matt Damon and than on one of denzel washington maybe that helps you find the swearword)

August 27, 2007, 06:53 PMI make T-shirts for my students that read: 我不知道. Wǒ bù zhīdào. Then, when someone asks what it says, they can truthfully say, "I don't know."

August 27, 2007, 06:56 PM你个 is probably closer as a sound-alike but then it wouldn't have a double meaning.

August 27, 2007, 07:31 PMIt just kills me that the N-word, so popular in American hip hop, is making it's way to Asia (after 20 years). Of course, there is no accompanying compunction about throwing it about, and an utter lack of understanding of that word's history. It IS racist no matter what the web site says. I think I would definately start a boycott of http://www.post-jdm.com/.

August 27, 2007, 08:37 PMOh, duh...I understand now. Definitely can be misunderstood. Bazz-don't get "that one"! Ha, I crack myself up : )

August 28, 2007, 06:18 PMI've never heard of white foreigners as being refered to as "bai ren". In fact, though some Chinese say that they have "yellow" skin, many women strive to be "as white as possible" by staying out of the sun and eating healthy, as "whiter is better". Also, and maybe this is just a dong1bei3 thing, but the Chinese up here in Harbin use the sound "nigga" as English speakers would use "uhmmm...."

August 31, 2007, 12:03 PMOk, I don't think bother getting one then. I suppose it's not that witty anyway.

August 28, 2007, 08:51 AMI had a friend in Hangzhou that used to walk around going "那个请" all the time. It was, in a word, hilarious (not that I support such things in any way :))
