In the script, they shouldn't be an 儿化音. But, it is very common to add 儿化音 colloquially among Chinese especially someone who comes from the Northern region.

Well... in Taiwan, you could easily get a tattoo if you want. It's up to your own decision.

Actually, the baristas could still ask "两位是在这边吃还是带走". They could replace the verb with 喝. The verb 吃 could include eating and drinking, but 喝 is usually used in a condition that only consists of drinking.

Hi Apetina,

妳 is an ancient word,but it's not commonly used.  I think mainly because it's not being used in Chinese textbooks used by the native speaking Chinese, and thus it's not a commonly circulated word.

Hi Kelisi,

You are right, the correct phrase should be 大大的旺夫。 Here, 的 has an implied object to follow, and can you guess what the implied object is?  

qing(1) guo(1) refers to 傾國, which means to "kill/destroy a country."  again, the 的 has the same implied object as above.

Hi William and Kelisi,

It's a typo.  It should be "like the lady (who is a concubine of an ancient emperor)."

That's right William, Mao borrowed this old phrase to launch a campaign to encourage his party members to speak openly their criticisms of the party and the country.
