How do you think I explained that to her?

I would be interested to learn how you explained BB to her - I can always learn from a master. bjbjbjbjbj

If put on the spot I would mumble something about how she had made a significant contribution to the lives of a whole generation of schoolboys - through her we learned about cultural and other  afafafafaf differences.
She may have led, indirectly, to my decision to study French on entry to high school. Though, on reflection, the decision was based on other factors - only the top stream got to take Latin and I did not see Agriculture as a road to where I wanted to go.
At that time I was definitely a B student with an interest in BB and no interest in academic studies.          

Note: There are quite a few BB's walking around Shaanxi as well. Usually I try to rip- off photos of T-shirts in the street but one of a BB was proving elusive. When this student stopped to practice her few words of English I took advantage of the situation and got the photo. I said that it was the name of a famous film star and she looked suitably blank... so I changed the subject.

Come on Chinese folks... just check what it says before you wear it! Crickey.

Though some Chinese will know the meanings (especially when expletives are used), you would think that most people would want to make sure whatever you have written across your body you'd know what it meant! No doubt the majority of folk donning these tops have no idea at all.

Mindboggling how they don't check what they wear on show for all the world to see!

I would.

Once back home, I was at Onario Place and this 30ish and attractive woman wore a shirt that said, "If you can catch me you can have me"

So I grabbed her! She was shocked of course. When I remended her of her shirt she died of embarassment. Sadly, that was the last of her

Just saw a college sweatshirt that said "University of Washington Wuskies"

Is that a sled dog that's too afraid to go out in the cold?

The other day I saw one on a rather largish girl that read

"Lov Chink"

Looking at her girth I was thinking more along the line of "Lov Chunk"

I saw a young boy in a polo shirt with the collar turned up. On the collar it said "WEENIE" which made me giggle for awhile.
