October 31st, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve recently seen the phrase 雷人 (lei ren) on the net here and there in the last few months, and was never quite sure what it meant though most of the time it’s clear from the context what the gist of it.

October 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Drunken phrasings

October 27th, 2008 · No Comments
