"prostitute"

[in_lab]

Pipas, that's quite a list you found. What dictionary is that from?

@jobin: I assume you are using Windows? Download the file to your local desktop, right-click on it, select "rename", and remove the ".txt". Then double-click on it, and it should open up in your web browser of choice.

in_lab, from a Russian one.

In Shanghai 姑娘 is used very commonly to refer to any young girl.

It's the same in the north too.

I still remember some friends trying to get me to 找几个meimei，i think its 妹妹 as in little sister, but i dont know the characters, just know they said meimei

[skylee]

likely to be either 妹妹 or 美眉.

[taylor04]

well I'm pretty sure it wasnt 美眉, i think it is 妹妹，i remember them using 4th tones, but they were drunk too so I'm not 100% sure:)

"賺食",

a chinese hakka phrase, euphemistically means to earn for living.

幺二 yāoèr (диалект)

диалект = Cyrillic alphabet for "dialect" for those who can't read it. I doubt most Chinese people could read in the Cyrillic alphabet whether the language is Russian, etc...

How come it's not in English, but rather in Cyrillic? Beats me.

[trien27]

likely to be either 妹妹 or 美眉.

妹妹 because the guys who visit them either:

1. Are older than the girls, so 妹妹 would seem like an affectionate term.

2. Has some money, for whatever reason.

As an update, Skylee is good, it was 美眉, i just asked a Sichuan friend and thats what they usually say

[skylee]

taylor04, thanks for the update.
