Damn! That Girl's Hot!
Nothing in the world can get a man’s undivided attention more than a gorgeous woman. Any expat living in China for more than a couple months knows how to say “Piao Lian”…a Chinese girl can hear that from any foreigner at the bar. But wouldn’t it be infinitely more impressive for a local Chinese girl if she heard you say that she looked like sexy, enchanting stunner that made you drool with envy? If you are a foreigner living in China, and you can learn the local Chinese slang that her parents still don’t know, it will make her laugh out loud and give you have a much better chance on landing that first date.

All the ways to talk about ugly people
Every language has a way to describe ugly people, but I think the Chinese language probably has one of the meanest ways to say “Ugly”. The most common Chinese word used to describe ugly is the character combination “Nan Kan”, with a direct translation of “Difficult to look at”. Calling someone “ugly” is bad, but calling someone so ugly that people cannot even stand to look at you is taking ugliness to a whole different level. If you think that was bad, Chinese people use the word “Ko long”, the literal word for “dinosaur”, to describe a woman they think is ugly. Now if you ever hear someone say it is too mean to call another person “ugly” in English, at least you know its not as bad as calling someone “Too ugly to look at” or a “dinosaur” in Chinese, which is a whole lot meaner than the English word for “ugly”.

Most of the time they would be right, but after reading the Chinese Slang Blog you will know everything they are saying. With your carefully practiced poker face, you can play stupid while her friends are carelessly divulging all their secret information or you can impress all her Chinese friends with your new Chinese slang knowledge that only a local should know.
