Chinese insults

Ok, so a friend of mine gave me this list of Chinese insults yesterday and I just couldn't wait to post them on the blog. We'll I'm not posting ALL of them, if you know what I mean! By the way, if you use these phrases and get physically injured [though it is highly doubtful that a Chinese person could actually inflict bodily injury upon you] then I am by no means to be held responsible. But I assume I'm pretty safe seeing how only one of my blog followers can read Chinese.

you make me sick: 你真让我恶心。
You're a jerk: 你是个废物。
Dont' bother me: 别烦我。
Get out of my face: 从我面前消失。
Leave me alone: 走开。
It's none of your business: 关你屁事。
That's what you think: 那才是你脑子里想的。
Drop dead: 去死了。
Look at this mess: 看看这烂摊子。
What a stupid idiot: 真是百病一个。
I never want to see your face again: 我再也不要见到你。
You're a disgrace: 你真丢人。
Mind your own business: 管好你自己的事。
I'm telling you for the last time: 我最后再告诉你一次!
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard: 那是我听到的最愚蠢的事。
What do you think you're doing: 你知道你在做什么吗?
You asked for it: 你自找的。

The Chinese language never ceases to make me laugh....some of these phrases are pretty funny when translated literally.

On another note, things have been going pretty good for us. A lot of students had to miss last week's lesson, but we still ended up with around ten people at our house [all freshman]. We are finally ALL moved in and, as far as I know, have no other dealings with our old home. Yesterday we received a care package from Gran, in it being one pair of Batman pajamas that Noah has yet to take off. There were also lots of other things that the boys enjoyed playing with, one thing in particular that they enjoyed playing with that I did NOT enjoy them playing with would be a very loud glow in the dark recorder. Yeah, that got "lost" real quick!!!!

I'll leave you with one last Johnson adventure for today. Today at noon I received a phone call from our Ayi informing us that she had gone to take out the trash and when she returned Noah and Nate had locked her out of the apartment. Fortunately, it was the outer door they shut and not the inner door [which has no way to be opened from the outside] so I rushed home and unlocked the door.

Well, that's all for now.

Haha. I love it. Have the Chinese figured out a bootleg version of "That's what she said"? Because that would be good to know. I mean, I know how to say it literally, but it's only funny if they know what's going on. (And if they had a feminine pronoun you could differentiate in speaking...)

Gran might have stolen one of my care package items. Hmm.

And Jenni told me about the Ayi when I was on Facebook last night. I do so love instant news of international incidents.

那是我听到的最愚蠢的事!

TJ! Just so you know, Trace is not the only person that can read Chinese that is following your blog.
(那才是你脑子里想的 is my favorite as well, by the way)

Anyway, how are you guys? I really want to talk to you guys soon.

Okay. So let's just be clear about one thing. Never and I mean NEVER put those insults anywhere near me in Pinyin. That's the last thing I need is ammunition on a bad day! I'll just continue Kan Bu Donging and leave the insults to you.
