Do chinese people say wang when referring to their dick?

Is he the owner of your local Chinese or something? Taller than your average china man that’s for sure.

this isn’t true – China is big and split into big parts, the hot bit in the South and the cold bit in the North. Most Chinese you see in the UK are from the hot bits, which are South China, Hong Kong and Malaysia, so they are shorter. In colder countries larger animals get taller / longer and small creatures are smaller, whereas in hotter nations its the reverse. In the northern areas you get very tall Chinese people, some over 2m tall.

A SE Asian tiger is noticeably smaller than a Siberian tiger. but the “small” tiger is 2.65m long, which means its 1m more than me, so if its hungry I will certainly give it a wide berth. There are also 5 unique species of giant rat in SE Asia, about the size of a Western tom cat.

This is a Chinese tiger but overdevelopment has made then endangered and near extinct, this one is in the zoo. Malaysia has more tigers today as they shifted the tigers and people all around to stop folk getting eaten (this was apparently a hazard well into the 1970s!)

Wang is actually a surname in china lol. (or a first name, in china you say the surname first then your first name last, but in England and places like that often people will switch them around and have an English translation of their first name in front of their surname, or sometimes even there full Chinese name but surname last).

I have a Western given name and a Chinese surname and this when I worked with Korean TV and CCTV etc older people would sometimes reverse it, or even ask what is my full name (so I have to explain to them). Even when I bought some RAM chips I ended up with it being addressed to Mr Great Britain before my name, I suspect this was because my full name is so common in Singapore and Malaysia they wanted to make sure my parcel didn’t get sent to a random Chinese dude.

mind you I had had to shift 15 of CRT monitors single handed (if those below 25 ever see one try picking it up and you will understand) a few weeks before so maybe it was an award for being both technically aware and physically in good shape :laugh_at:

I’m relatively short, yes.

Penis

As in English, many Mandarin Chinese slang terms involve the genitalia or other sexual terms. Slang words for the penis refer to it literally, and are not necessarily negative words:

jībā (simplified Chinese: 鸡巴; traditional Chinese: 雞巴/鷄巴, IM abbreviation: J8/G8) = cock (used as early as the Yuan Dynasty)
jījī (simplified Chinese: 鸡鸡; traditional Chinese: 雞雞/鷄鷄, IM: JJ/GG) = roughly equivalent of “thingy” as it is the childish version of the above.
jūju (具具), baby talk, “tool”.
xiǎo dìdì (小弟弟) = roughly equivalent of “wee-wee” (lit. “little younger brother”) IM: DD
kuàxià wù (胯下物) = roughly equivalent of “the package” (lit. “thing under crotch”)
yīnjīng (simplified Chinese: 阴茎; traditional Chinese: 陰莖)= penis (scientific)
diǎo (屌 or substituted by 吊) = dick (the same character also means to have sexual intercourse in Cantonese)
luǎn (卵) same as “屌”, used in some southern areas.
lǎo èr (老二) = penis (lit. “second in the family”, “little brother”)
nà huà er (simplified Chinese: 那话儿; traditional Chinese: 那話兒) = penis, usually seen in novels/fictions. (lit. “That thing”, “that matter”)
xiǎo niǎo (小鳥) = used by children in Taiwan to mean penis (lit. “little bird”)
guītóu (simplified Chinese: 龟头; traditional Chinese: 龜頭) = turtle’s head (glans/penis)

Note: One should note that in Middle Chinese the words for “dick” (屌 diǎo) and “bird” (鳥 niǎo) were homophones if not the same word and both began with a voiceless unaspirated alveolar stop (d in pinyin). Based on regular sound change rules, we would expect the word for bird in Mandarin to be pronounced diǎo, but Mandarin dialects’ pronunciation of the word for bird evolved to an alveolar nasal initial, likely as a means of taboo avoidance, giving contemporary niǎo while most dialects in the south retain the Middle Chinese alveolar stop initial and the homophony or near homophony of these words.

for the Cantonese

In Cantonese lan (Chinese: ��; Jyutping: lan2), sometimes idiomatically written as 撚 lun, is another vulgar word that means penis.[1] Similar to gau, this word is also usually used as an adverb.

lan yeung (撚樣) can be loosely translated as “dickface”.[7]

Euphemism includes 懶 laan (lazy) or 能 nang (able to).
Tsat

In Cantonese, Tsat (Chinese: ��; Jyutping: cat6), sometimes idiomatically written as 柒, is a vulgar word for an erect penis. Its American English equivalent is “boner”. Ban6 cat6 (笨柒) (stupid dick) is a more common phrase among others. However, it is usually used as a vulgar adjective especially among the youth. It means “ugly” or “shameful”.

cat6 tau4 (柒頭) can be loosely translated as “dickhead”.

And in Hokkien (which was suposedly my Dad’s dialect but he never spoke Chinese, only English and the odd bit of Malay)

C-word (Cock)

Lān-chiáu (門+能 鳥) – penis; also used as an expression to indicate incredulity, as in the English “Bullshit!”. Expressions:
Kóng lān-chiáu oe (講 門+能 鳥 話) – to talk rubbish
Khoà sim-mih lān-chiáu? (看 甚麼 門+能 鳥) – “What the hell are you looking at?”
Lān-pha – scrotum; also used as an expression to indicate incredulity, as in the English “Bullshit!”
Lān-hút – testes; used in a similar way as the above example

Not quite elaborate enough GL i’m afraid :laugh_at:

I’m sure I’ve heard that one a few times in martial arts movies. Nice to think such feelings are multicultural.

if you’ve heard that in Hokkien (and if so you know more Chinese than I do) then they must be pirate copies from the “you want DVD?” type lad from Malaysia / Singapore :laugh_at:

Yes well i suppose you do a lot of hill walking here, you would end up with a bad back being too tall! Australia is flat.

6foot 2 is pretty tall but not outstandingly so, the other 9 of you must all be pretty short.

I would say the other men in here are no taller than 6 foot i would give the chinese guy an extra 2 inches over them but for a chinese guy i think he is the tallest i’ve ever seen lol

… if I was, wouldn’t my name end “Shaw, T” ?

As for tall Chinese people, these were thought to be extinct, but it just turns out they’ve just been hiding because you couldn’t get Mao suits in a non-standard size.
