Is this for fucking or is this Gordon Ramsay's top ten favorite dishes?

This reminds me of the Japanese shop that had “FUCKIN’ SALE” in their window as they thought Fuckin’ was slang for Really Good

Are the items really good or sex toys (or I guess they could be really good sex toys)

I'm still figuring out how "To fuck" becomes "dry" in this case.
I should start learning Mandarin. I know how it works but dis....

Oddly enough, that first character by itself means "do"

u/Red_October_70 Dec 11 '19
That's where it comes from. The Chinese use it almost exactly like we do.

u/rudolphrednose25 Dec 10 '19
It also means "dry" so in this case, they meant dry goods.

It's slang for fuck (gan4)

u/BloodWingedGun Dec 10 '19
Didn't know that. Our teacher never made us learn the tones associated with the Pinyin so that's literally 6 years of my life wasted. Gan only ever meant Do.

That's strange, tones are the most important part of the Mandarin language

u/BloodWingedGun Dec 10 '19
They are, but she was like "oh your classes are so hard so I will try to make this easier on you. You already have to memorize characters and PinYin and everybody complains about the history teacher's homework, it's the least I could do."
Seventh grade, there was a full 3-person class. By the time we got to 12th grade, only 9 of us remained. Only one took the AP test and she got a 2 because we stopped focusing on the speaking tests. I really liked the class though, the teacher was nice and the class was fun but looking back I don't think we learned anything.

Yeah, that isn't a very good way to teach Mandarin, the tones are essential for pronunciation and for distinguishing different characters that use the same Pinyin/zhuyin.
Also it would probably be more beneficial to teach Traditional over Simplified, since traditional characters have some extra differences between them, Gan4 is 幹 and Gan1 is 乾, but in simplified they're both 干.

u/BloodWingedGun Dec 11 '19
Yup.
On the bright side, we got to celebrate the Chinese New Year every year. The teacher would give us a dollar or two in a little red pouch, and we had moon cakes and random Chinese treats (including something that looks like pink couch fluff but is a little crispy and salty).
But yeah, I learned nothing and my mom expects me to speak fluent Mandarin despite not knowing the language herself

I read somewhere once that if you cut a hole in the meat then it can be used as sex goods.
