Mavericker Posted March 7, 2007 at 06:00 PM Author Report Posted March 7, 2007 at 06:00 PM Thank you for responding. The definition I'm looking for is "mannish female", or "mannish-lookig female". Can someone please tell me if there are any slangy ways to say "androgyne" in Mandarin? Please let me know. Thank you. Quote
Mavericker Posted March 7, 2007 at 06:05 PM Author Report Posted March 7, 2007 at 06:05 PM Hello. I'm still researching Mandarin youth, street and college slang. I know that the term "dragon" can be used in the context of "brave hearty male", and I know a handful of terms that mean "brave hearty male". Are there any similiar terms in Mandarin that mean "brave hearty female"? Please let me know. Thank you. Quote

gato Posted March 11, 2007 at 04:57 AM Report Posted March 11, 2007 at 04:57 AM Mavericker, can you combine your many threads on Chinese slangs about girls who like to do various thing into just one thread? If it is a serious research project, you've gotta be researching more than one word per day. It should be easy to ask all your questions in one thread. It makes it easier for the rest of us when navigating the forum. http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/159-wuxia-aka-martial-art-or-kungfu-novels-by-louis-cha38 "female that likes to do 'guy' things" in Mandarin slang http://www.chinese-forums.com/showthread.php?t=16016 "androgyne" http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/1597-marriage-proposals-in-chinese2 "brave hearty female" in Mandarin slang http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/15-cctv-learn-chinese731 help with Chinese Mandarin slang-"tomboy", "delinquent girl", etc. http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/15-cctv-learn-chinese845 "dragoness" in Mandarin http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/1594-hierarchy-in-chinese-and-vietnamese9 Mandarin slangs for "tough guy" http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/15-cctv-learn-chinese923 Mandarin terms of endearment Thanks.
