geek_frappa Posted April 12, 2004 at 06:52 PM Report Posted April 12, 2004 at 06:52 PM When I order "boba tea", am I making reference to lady's breasts? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_milk_tea help me understand. thanks. Quote
林彪 Posted April 13, 2004 at 06:18 AM Report Posted April 13, 2004 at 06:18 AM I'm assuming you're referring to the character "奶". It could mean "breasts", but in this usage it means milk. Quote
skylee Posted April 13, 2004 at 06:46 AM Report Posted April 13, 2004 at 06:46 AM I think geek refers to the term "波霸", which means a bosomy woman ("波" being the transliteration of "ball"). I have never heard the drink called "波霸奶茶" in HK. Anyway, the term "波霸" is a bit offensive to ladies, and is quite out-of-date now (like "大哥大"). Quote
