yunxiao333 Posted February 17, 2007 at 02:54 AM Report Posted February 17, 2007 at 02:54 AM We say jia xiao zi(假小子)when this kind of girl was very small,usually they are children,they are so-called"fake boy". If you say Nan ren puo(男人婆),It probably refer to a woman. Quote
Mavericker Posted February 18, 2007 at 12:43 AM Author Report Posted February 18, 2007 at 12:43 AM Thank you for responding. Are there any other Mandarin slangs for "Tomboy" that refer to girls? Please let me know. Thank you. Quote

jukebox Posted February 20, 2007 at 08:48 AM Report Posted February 20, 2007 at 08:48 AM You could try using "李宇春" as for tomboy. Sometimes it may insult or offend some people though. Quote
Mavericker Posted February 20, 2007 at 09:46 PM Author Report Posted February 20, 2007 at 09:46 PM Hello jukebox-why would the term you posted be offensive? Quote
