It is known in English as a 'play on words', taking words that sound familiar and giving them another meaning. In this case, it is taking Chinese 'names' and giving them English meanings.SGBoyxxx wrote:lol seriously bro ,
I am local chinese here I don;t know what it means.
I would be extremely cautious about making such jokes in front on any of my Chinese coworkers as this could be considered offensive. At least, I sure wouldn't find out the hard way.
As to what it means:
1) That’s not right........................................ Sum Ting Wong [Something (is) Wrong]
2) Are you harboring a fugitive? .................... Hu Yu Hai Ding [Who (Are) You Hiding]
3) See me ASAP........................................... Kum Hia Nao [Come Here Now]
4) Stupid Man.............................................. Dum Fuk [Dumb freak - OK - I bet you got that one]
5) Small Horse............................................. Tai Ni Po Ni [Tiny Pony]
6) Did you go to the beach?........................... Wai Yu So Tan [Why (Are) You So Tan ]
7) I bumped into a coffee table...................... Ai Bang Mai Fa Kin Ni
8) I think you need a face lift......................... Chin Tu Fat [Chin Too Fat]
9) It’s very dark in here................................. Wao So Dim [Why So Dim]
10) I thought you were on a diet ................... Wai Yu Mun Ching [Why (Are) You Munching]
11) This is a tow away zone!.......................... No Pah King [No Parking]
12) Our meeting is scheduled for next week..... Wai Yu Kum Nao [Why You Come Now]
13) Staying out of sight ................................ Lei Ying Lo [Laying Low]
14) He’s cleaning his automobile..................... Wa Shing Ka [Washing Car]
15) Your body odor is offensive!...................... Yu Stin Ki Pu [You (Are) Stinky Poo]
16) Great..................................................... Fa Kin Su Pah [freak Super]
