Hey, I'm from planet Bing-Bing. How come that option is not on the poll?

What does "bing-bing" mean again? I think that my coworker said that it's the polite alternative to "crazy." (Apparently using the word "crazy" is really insulting over here.)

It's often asked so maybe now we'll know. 95 hits and 20 votes. I'm sure some of those hits are from the same people just checking the progress of the poll, but c'mon. Is there such a thing as pollophobia?

Your job is to teach them English, which includes all of the connotations of common words. There is no reason to avoid the word crazy just because the Korean translation has negative connotations. The English one does not; teach them that. That's a much better Christmas gift than a pencil.

My answer is the same as it was last week, when someone else ran the same poll.

Well maybe if the Japanese hadn't changed to U from a C, it could have been up top.

I know it's not in alphabetical order and Green Tea is a troll, just making fun.
