Is '520' an area code or the lucky number for this week's lottery? You need the hip kids of ChinesePod to swim you through this sea of lingo. Listen to this podcast and find out the slang that the dictionary forgot to mention.

不是这些都是有道理的很多是谐音比如说偶是我的意思稀饭就是喜欢您看我这里写的偶稀饭就是我喜欢
bù 不shì 是zhèxiē 这些dōu 都shì 是yǒu 有dàolǐ 道理de 的hěn 很duō 多shì 是xiéyīn 谐音bǐrú shuō 比如说ǒu 偶shì 是wǒ 我de 的yìsi 意思xīfàn 稀饭jiùshì 就是xǐhuan 喜欢nín 您kàn 看wǒ 我zhèlǐ 这里xiě 写de 的ǒu 偶xīfàn 稀饭jiùshì 就是wǒ 我xǐhuan 喜欢
No, it all makes sense. A lot of it is similar pronunciation, like ``ou" meaning ``wo," and ``xifan" for ``xihuan." Look, where it says ``ou xifan" right here means ``wo xihuan."
