So, uh, any of yous guys speak Asian? I got this weird Asian type scroll from my pops and decided to hang it in my room... but I wanna be sure it means something cool like "Badass" or "Seppuku" instead of something supid/silly like "asswipe" or "cumsloth" I think it was stolen from some sort of Asian gang, or an imperial palace or something.

So, what does it say?

[/uncultured dumbass]

 

[SKluck]

Of course. Doesn't everyone speak "Asian"?

 

[Pochacco]

Sorry, I only speak White.

 

[Justin Bailey]

No, but I can speak blackanese.

 

[StoOgE]

I speak Eurasian.. sorry.

 

[Dujour]

Hooked on ebonix.

 

[Drensch]

[Stele]

[GG-Duo]

I AM A CERTIFIED ASIAN-SPEAKING ASIAN. HERE TO SOLVE YOUR CULTURE PROBLEMS. AND EAT YOUR DOG.

That says fuck.
I mean, luck. Or, rather, blessing is a more accurate translation.

It's the type of red scroll that every superstitious/old-fashioned Chinese family would hang on their wall or door. It's to bring in luck, I guess.

No, it's not that special :|

 

[Pochacco]

I just want to point out that even if one could speak, um, "Asian" does not mean that they could read, er, "Asian"...

 

[SKluck]

Does russian count?

 

[Wario64]

I'm offended.

 

[firex]

It says "God, I really should have used a condom the night this kid was conceived."

 

[Dagless M.D.]

This is such a stupid thread

 

[StoOgE]

I just translated it.. it says

"Asia is a region, not a language you dolt"

 

[Mugen]

I just translated it.. it says

"Asia is a region, not a language you dolt"

lmao... would've said the exact same thing though not as funny as that.

 

[FoneBone]

You know, you've gotten bashed for some stupid threads already... you're not helping.

Okay..surprisingly few of you are picking up on the fact that just maybe this is a joke.

I'm pretty sure he was serious. He edited in the "[/uncultured dumbass]".

 

[The Black Gelding]

I am astounded that you people took the initial post seriously...

Anyway, yeah, I assumed it ment "luck" but I was wondering what the little letters on the bottom say. Are they the characters for the Chinese calendar?

Either way, lord knows that the meaning will change, depending on who asks what it means.

Girl: Hey, what does that scroll say?
The Black Stallion: It says: "Love... actually, undying affection would be a more accurate translation"

Guy: Hey, what does that scroll say?
The Black Stallion: It says: Thug... actually, hardend warrior would be a more accurate translation"

EDIT: I edited the post with by adding the "Asian gang" and "Emperial Palace" bit. Jesus, you people.

 

[Archaix]

Believe me, he was serious. He edited in the "[/uncultured dumbass]".

Actually, he edited in the " I think it was stolen from some sort of Asian gang, or an imperial palace or something."

edit: And speaking of editing, Socreges

 

[GG-Duo]

It's not related to the calendar.

The bottom characters just say "Luck flows like the eastern ocean, long flowing...... *can't read the caligraphy*"

seems like an extension of a common saying.

Actually, guys, I'd like to add on my own request. Believe it or not these image files are 4 years old, but I originally didn't know where I could ask, and had forgotten about them by the time I started hanging out bigtime at the multi-lingual GAF. The shirt itself has since become mildewy and died, but I'm still curious as to whether I was parading about with some reverse Engrish.

 

[yoshifumi]

this thread is hysterical

 

[Socreges]

Actually, he edited in the " I think it was stolen from some sort of Asian gang, or an imperial palace or something."

My mistake. He's just done some really stupid shit before and I'm actually more surprised that he wasn't serious.

And speaking of editing, Socreges

Well, I made it sound like I was convinced. I wasn't.

chicken,
dog,
*no idea, looks like the rabbit character but truncated, or it's a simplified character that i don't know*,
tiger,
rabbit,
horse.

So the shirt makers probably took a Chinese restaurant placemat, and picked 6 characters from the Chinese zodiac to put on the shirt. (out of 12)

That looks like an incomplete writing of rabbit. It's not the simplified version, or any of the other animals.

Sorry, I only speak White.

You too? Awesome. I'm taking night classes in black. You never know when it'll come in handy.

I've been considering that. Though I'm getting better and better, as is, from watching television. Particularly UPN. Such a beautiful language!
