tooironic Posted March 30, 2013 at 09:12 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 at 09:12 PM No. But it reminds me of SOHO (Small Office Home Office), which Chinese people often use. (Referring to people who work from home.) I've never heard a native speaker of English use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted March 31, 2013 at 04:36 AM Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 at 04:36 AM In HK there is a residential estate called LOHAS Park. And the metro station there is called LOHAS Park Station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limes Posted April 9, 2013 at 06:10 AM Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 at 06:10 AM Or DINK (double income no kids) which is used in English speaking countries, but never in normal conversations (or at least the normal conversations I've had). Had to have an English language acronym explained to me by my Chinese language partner. Smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
