Justin Trudeau Gets Called "Little Potato"
- Thread starter Locutus
- Start date
It is a lot better than what he gets called here so I can somewhat understand them being pleased
Someone has to.
Ma question est pour la "Petit Pomme de Terre", M. Trou D'o...
Quite a striking resemblance there. :lol:
That would be "unibrowed" trailer trash which is still higher on the food chain of intelligence than you
It's intended neither as a compliment nor an insult but merely a nickname.
The formal family name is 杜魯多 (Teluduo). Each character has its own meaning, not always flattering, but combined they make no logical sense and so have but one possible meaning: Trudeau.
However, Tudou is one character shorter than Teluduo, has a more clearly defined meaning, is humorous without being offensive, and so makes for the perfect nickname in Chinese.
To distinguish between Sr. and Jr., we add a da (big) or xiao (little) in front.
Of course this is not used in formal contexts, but serves as a popular nickname.
Storm in a teacup.
Carry on.
Hey man... are you going to stand for that? China just called you a little b*tch.
No, no... China is my friend... he likes me.
LMAO
No, no... China is my friend... he likes me.
LMAO
I'm a horse nail.
Chinese usually translates proper names by choosing characters that find the right balance between mimicking the approximate pronunciation of the original and using characters with a positive or at least neutral meaning.
When that's not possible and a character with a negative meaning must be used, it's used in combination with other characters that together are sufficiently nonsensical so as to leave no doubt that the meaning of the combined characters do not reflect the meaning of any individual character.

What? You don't think the Chinese Government calling the leader of your country a Little Potato is anything but a compliment?
As for the Libtards, you'll ask to ask them.
As for me, I was just educating you.
And because today was the first day of school, this fits.

This third song is a non sequitur, when talking about potatoes. One could argue that burning off the calories from potato consumption would be good wif these righteous tunes. Bonne tunage! And would also explain that, unlike your children, people from before the Internets tended to be trimmer.
M. Trou D'eau is a hedge trimmer.
