SERENITYNOW


I formally request we leave behind all that is civil and good taste for just a little bit, if Haken doesn't mind.

It's the future, everyone speaks bastardized Chinese, anything goes. Get yourself an English-Chinese dictionary (or better yet, the pinyinary) and be creative.

(Hey, the Chinese butcher our language like nobody's business. I say time for a little payback.)

Some rules of thumb (and actual native speakers, please correct anything I write that's bendan de):

*"tama de" ("damn"; literally "his mother's, but with a bad connotation) can be slipped in anywhere to give it a nice rhythm

*adding "egg" (dan) at the end of an adjective/verb makes it a curse-word-noun. So "ben", stupid + "dan", egg = "bendan" idiot. You can use "melon" (gua) to a similar effect, I understand. ("Muggles" in Chinese are "mugua"--literally, woodheads)

*make something an adjective or adverb by adding "de"

Of course, you all know about the Pinyinary http://fireflychinese.home.att.net/phrase1.html which is much more helpful than anything I could say.

So, laiba (c'mon) and try it you lese de zang biaozi a! (dirty, piece of trash whores)
