How do I say this in Mandarin?

"Your father was a bull pizzle and your mother was a pork bung!"

My office-mate refuses to translate this for me and I want to yell it over the partition to produce an effect of overwhelming shock and awe.

Do you want the words or characters?

pokute · Post by **pokute** » Feb 17th, '07, 00:07

I need the words. I want to yell it, not write it on her forehead with a sharpie.

haruhi-san · Post by **haruhi-san** » Feb 17th, '07, 00:09

Oh alright then, gomen.

pokute · Post by **pokute** » Feb 17th, '07, 00:12

I tried yelling that, she said it's not Chinese. What are you trying to sell me here?

haruhi-san · Post by **haruhi-san** » Feb 17th, '07, 00:16

I meant gomen, meaning "sorry"

I only know the chracters.

Ah. Sumimasen.

No worries. I wish I could help though.

do you really want to yell it ?
it's really kind of dirty words (F words)...
not appropiate for yelling at any public place....or to anyone...
unless you want to fight with others...

What?! These are things they sell in every market... And people eat them... With the lights on.

Well, generally stating a person or a person's lineage is inhuman or questionable qualifies as "fighting words"

In Siam, they fought with fish.

Ah, actually, father is ba ba in chinese, not pa pa, so I was reading it as:
你怕怕濕牛鼻子, 你媽媽是豬肉師
with the correction, it reads like
你爸爸是牛鼻子, 你媽媽是豬肉師
Your dad is a Taoist monk, Your mom is a Pork Teacher...
but since there is no pork teacher... perhaps you meant
你爸爸是牛鼻子, 你媽媽是豬肉絲 (ni ba ba shi niu bi zi, ni ma ma shi niu rou si)
Your dad is a Taoist monk, Your mom is shredded pork ...

Frankly even yelling the original in English will achieve shock and awe. Any reason why it must be yelled in Chinese?

The "shi" could be referring to 屎 (****).

牛鼻子 = Taoist monk?

EH?

Could "pi zi" be 痞子?

furelise · Post by **furelise** » Feb 28th, '07, 12:19

if you must know... "Your father was a bull pizzle"=你爸爸是牛鞭, spoken as "Ni ba ba shi nu bian"

Yeah, it's slang. Iirc, I first read it in the Jing Yong novels. So, not quite sure of the etymology. I think it has something to do with the whisk that they flick about being like a cow's tail.

hmmm.. just did a google, apparently this is why

_iris wrote:Could "pi zi" be 痞子?

I ignored pi zi because, as you noticed, it means punk. So cow punk didn't make a lot of sense, so I chose cow nose for the slang

this is very fun reading all those things you guys are teaching him, I personally can speak very well chinese but I can only read some words, but its very funny seeing you all teaching him like that. Hope your fight went well. I would have laughed if I had heard those words from someone who wanted to involk a fight..

To top it off, Mandarin is tonal -- whether a syllable is said with, for example, a rising or a falling tone will give it a complete different meaning.

In other words, the odds of pokute being able to say a sentence like that -intelligibly- is absolutely zero.

And if a Chinese guy stood up in an office of white guys and screamed "You smell of limburger cheese and your face looks like donkey's rectum!" in barely intelligible English, do you think anyone would be impressed?

lilsushi213 · Post by **lilsushi213** » Mar 9th, '07, 02:56

haahhahaha, that's a pretty funny phrase to yell at someone in both english and chinese. ;D to start a fight? eh, i'd say use simple chinese, you still get the point across.

Ni ba pba shi niu pi zi, ni mama shi zhu rou shi, this is correct i guess you are just reading the words in a different tone
