Do you accept Singapore being called 坡县？？

[PikaPika33]

is like they call japan small japan lo
always like to belittle other

 

[Jack_Chen]

We have to stop them before they proceed further.

Just like how they lay claim to some out of way pacific islands.

If they use it now in jest. Who knows years later, they can use it as an excuse to claim Singapore was a county of China and they want to retake it back, by force if necessary.

Malaysia and Taiwan newspaper always call Singapore 星国

Our local newspaper like to call Singapore 狮城.

Some idiot call hong Kong leg. This person who invent this phase certainly hate hong Kong a lot

Hk people are pragmatic people

they worry more about extradition law which is real bad rather than harmless terms like wuhan virus, Hong Kong leg or Spanish flu

县 definition you are right if goes by dictionary.

but sometimes meaning changed in real world.

is like a names in this context .

someone gave example. Eh bro, eh sis
U think I really treat you like my bro and sis? Or blood related ?

names and idioms are the same. Words used in names and idioms doesn’t really meant that.
班门弄斧。 I really go play axe in front of lu ban door meh?

Stop peddling this naming convention idioms and practice thing. You don’t impose your practices to another country when you know the opposite side is not happy do you.

Why don’t I call your house a tiny midget doghouse because in China the houses are massive. You won’t like it as well

I overheard a few PRCs calling japan as 小日本. Not once but few times liao.

They also call 日本省.

 

[luvbitez]

if they said that in a demeaning way jitao address them as
支那.

Our newspapers also offended Malaysian workers by calling 马劳 during early 2000. Sound like horse worker. I always mixed with Malaysians. They actually take offense on this pharse.

Now we still using this phase branding Malaysian workers. I don't use this term as it is insulting to them.

Boomer generation call Malaysians 联邦人. The millennium heard this phase of calling, they feel very strange only. Aunty ask them why never go back to 联邦。

That why dun give people nickname what 马佬，马劳，jiuhu kia, Siam kia, Siam bu, hong kie( sound like donkey). That why Chinese call Singapore 坡县 as they mentioned they feel very small 县, sound very cute. They dun find it offensive

Not sure what u r talking. The two are not linked

馬 is the name of their country
縣 is not what sg is

 

[cyke69sg]

That’s a lot of hypocrites. They dunno what is 飲水思源 and not biting the feeding hand？

Oh but these pro PRC have no chinese stocks no china property dont drive chinese automaker cars use iphones and dont speak mandarin usually

 

[cpuer]

they wont care as long as its a win in the end.....even if its illogical

yes, their win-win theory is quite revolutionary.

 

[cpuer]

It’s fine they call us ah sing, but not 坡縣

Ah Sing sounded much nicer, even Habibie's supposedly derogatory little Red Dot is well received in the end, why is it so? because that guy has highlighted the critical weakness of sg, which is our size is so bloody small and on the regular printed map, the Red Dot could be bigger than the country. This resonated with us here, we're indeed damn small and plug right into an outwardly "friendly" neighborhood. If we don't buck up, menyelesaikan, habis!

坡縣 is 100 times more repulsive.

 

[cantona81]

I also find the phrase 支那人 very cute... maybe I should use that to call them...

 

[nakedtons]

if they said that in a demeaning way jitao address them as
支那.

大陸喱 is also used by HKers. Or straight away tell them that there should be 八國聯軍 2.0.​

 

[mooseolly]

Got one user using this nick. Think he don't mind.

 

[Emperor_Hippo]

many edmwers accept and embrace it fully

the PRC embracing CCP lovers will lubs them deep deep

 

[Emperor_Hippo]

if they said that in a demeaning way jitao address them as
支那.

still 支那?

if they call us 坡县 and in association, we become 坡县人, then we might as well start calling them 阿四仔.

yah. 1 level lower than their favourite "阿三" term.

How they like it?

 

[Emperor_Hippo]

That’s a lot of hypocrites. They dunno what is 飲水思源 and not biting the feeding hand？

new citizens. pui.

 

[pcfreak]

Wait build an island infront of you

 

[zueinder]

Good for them. If a person is only able to use such demeaning terms it shows the low level they are at. Nothing we can do about it. It's like trying to get angry at a mentally unsound person. But in this case, we don't need to help them since they have so much money and power mah.

 

[lazyclimb]

so they no longer hung up on 'Ah Chan'?

 

[Emperor_Hippo]

Wait build an island infront of you

yah. buy over Semenanjung Malaysia then build a wall around the entire coastline of Peninsular Malaysia loh.

Few hundred sextillion dollar project.

i see them go dig money out from which backside first. pui.
