Yep. Could also mean "sentimental fool"

















j/k - just "sentimental." The "fool" part is optional.

Lord merciless gets them almost all correct! You have a firm grasp of Chinese obscenities and we must all bow before you.

Xiao bai lian actually means a guy who looks handsome but is good for nothing.

Gen wo guobuqu means to purposefully give somebody a hard time.

Both can be good terms to use on your boss.

Eat tofu is definitely not grabbing breasts.

Eat tofu is definitely definitively defined - beyond all possibility of misdefinition - as the grabbing of breasts, or carpe mammarium in the Higher Pedantic Script, since its earliest inception, attributed to Chairman Mao Zedong on the inaugural speech of the Twin City Pagodas, as "serve the people through eating tofu" (rhyming couplet tongguo chi doufu / wei renmin fuwu).

But seriously, the Beijingers definitely use "chi doufu" as a slang for heavy petting, especially when performed on a female. Urban Ranger lives in Shanghai (or so I've heard) and I'm sure the slang there is different, but I have seen visual and tactile proof that chi doufu means exactly what we say it does.

Means the same thing here in Shanghai.

You see young couples doing it all the time in public - in any public place (they have nowhere else to go, can't take a date home). My all-time favorite was when I saw a a young couple of about 19 years at McDonalds. They were starting to kiss and grope a little, and then the young woman helped her boyfriend pick his nose! Talk about romance! (public nose-picking is common in China, even among the educated and well-mannered ).

Nope.
