Funny Stuff Thread.... to loosen your day

Never heard of 姑姐 before, both my parents and my wife's parents are all eldest in the family, lol!

In Shanghainese, instead of 姑姑, we say “niang1 niang1", not sure what the characters are. Yet, for her husband, we say 姑父. Go figure!

"In Shanghainese, instead of 姑姑, we say “niang1 niang1", not sure what the characters are. Yet, for her husband, we say 姑父. Go figure!"

It's good to know shanghainess got their colloquial parlance as well.

This must be an unique Cantonese usage. 姑姐 could be mistaken by Mandarin speakers as something entirely different if just looking at the word 姐. Someone of the same generation rather than an ante. On the other hand in Mandarin 子 in here is not son but just a suffix.


母 or 娘, different words same meaning.

I am not wrong on this one though. 婶 is the simplified version of 嬸

Lol. We Cantonese confuses the hell out of our fellow Chinese. Also if you look at 姑姐. It is not only calling your aunty as if it is from the same generation. I think the "姑" bit should suffice to distinguish her as one generation up. But the "姐" part is confusing, because as we all know "姐" means older sister, but when use in this context? It refer to your dad's younger sister. Lol

"母 or 娘, different words same meaning". Yes that's truth, but as I said "娘" is preferred because :伯母" sounds very negative in Cantonese parlance.

And finally, my simplified chinese is not as good. I should've known. 婶 is the simplified version of 嬸. Apologies.

Talking about the complicated relatives in Chinese families, there was a story about a nun who was cleaning in front of her pagoda when a drunk man fell down in the middle of the street and the nun helped him to side of the street. A nun is not a allowed to touch men's body so people started to gossip about her. So the village head summit her to the court and asked why she did that and what was the relationship between the drunk man and her? She wrote two sentences on the board and went away:
醉汉妻弟妮姑舅，妮姑舅姐醉汉妻。Because relationship in English is much more simple, so I can only translate it into these:
The younger brother of the drunk man's wife is nun's uncle while the elder sister of nun's uncle is the wife of the drunk man.

Can you guess their relationship?

The drunk man is the nun's uncle's sister's husband.

AKA her father.

The reactions are funnier. The Indians are like, "Our brave soldiers, not afraid of lions or bullets but afraid of a needle. So cute!" I'm thinking, put in him a cage with a lion or shoot at him and then we'll see. Until then, I'd like saying your child's a genius who's failing high school math but (presumably according to you) can build a supercomputer.

Nothing to ridicule here.

Every unit will have the odd soldier that has a phobia of something. I'm sure there will be vids of PLA soldiers likewise. I know guys that will jump out of planes but go weak at needles (the medics had lots of fun with them). Doesn't make them bad soldiers per se. Just individuals with quirks.
