Hey, does anyone know how to say "傻屄" in Taiwanese?
Every once in a great while I feel the need to yell this in Taiwanese, but not too often.

I don't know, but I asked my Taiwanese wife and she said that she has never seen that word before. Is it possible that the characters you used are wrong?

Sha bee or Sha pee?: Are you referring to a flaky girl that changes her behavior frequently from being a little weird to "San Ba" or 38?

Try the third tone for Sha, and the first tone for Bi. I put it into google translater, and started laughing. Embarassed

Oh, come on! Share it with us. You're not playing fair! I feel like you have me in a mental ankle lock. Laughing I'll ask my wife later, but I am sure that she still won't know; or is she holding information from me on purpose? Most likely the latter if it is that embarrassing. Laughing

Okay - google translator said "Stupid ----", and the dashes represent the "c" word. I think that your wife probably knows the meaning, she just didn't want to tell you.

My wife looked at it again. I think you're right. I asked her to tell me how to say S.C in Chinese, and she said something. Then I ask her to repeat it, and she said there's no such word and wouldn't engage me about it any further. I think I will ask her to translate "lateral sphincterotomy" the next time I get her in a good mood. Laughing

My students told me that it is used in Hong Kong, and parts of China, but not in Taiwan.
