anonymoose Posted July 4, 2006 at 08:45 AM Report Posted July 4, 2006 at 08:45 AM Another vulgar character that's usually different from its dictionary form is 屄 (bi1). It's often written as 逼 (bi1), e.g. 牛逼、傻逼。屄 bī A chinese guy once told me that bī could also be written as a 女 character with an extra dian stroke in the middle. Has anyone else ever heard of this? I cannot find references to it anywhere, in dictionaries or otherwise. Quote

Will check a couple of obscure dictionaries tonight. Have also seen 尸+必. ...and the other is that it is easier to remember by using a common character than the rare one. I'd be surprised if anyone ever forgot 肏 after learning it once! Quote

So, what, is this only a cantonese character? That's a shame as I thought it was quite elegant. Quote
middle kingdom Posted July 4, 2006 at 03:23 PM Report Posted July 4, 2006 at 03:23 PM I'd be surprised if anyone ever forgot 肏 after learning it once! yes, it can be hardly forgotten because of its being so rare and so precisely expressing the meaning. But it's too staring, and may be obsolete. So what is the real other reason for the replacement besides the pronunciation... btw, this topic seems vulgar, but very intelligent in fact. Quote
middle kingdom Posted July 4, 2006 at 03:30 PM Report Posted July 4, 2006 at 03:30 PM That's a shame as I thought it was quite elegant. It could be elegant if you use it in an elegant way. And I also assumed the elegance of the shape of this character. maybe it was not conventionally considered a vulgar one in the past? Some modern people call natives from tribes savage. They deny the truth they see. Quote
