    It's not something I've ever heard of, usually the use of random english seems to be relegated to clothing and other marketed goods.

    Thanks! I am very proud to have that last name. It's not the usual Wu that most Chinese people with the last name Wu have. It makes my family lineage much easier to trace.
    Exactly. Dumbassery does not discriminate!

    Let's see...

    They didn't break up because of the "supermarket" tattoo. It was because he found out how many other guys were shopping her produce section. OH!!


    I'm here all week, folks! Please remember that the 7:30 show is completely different from the 9:30 show....

    I notice that Asian youths in my country tend to prefer English based tattoos rather than Japanese or Chinese ones. Me thinks its the "grass is always green on the other side" symptom. Of course, youths in the triads are excluded from the above observation! LOL!

    Wouldn't it be funny if some tatoo artists tried to learn chinese characters, but because many of them are so complex that they just get lazy and lstudy hard to learn one...

    and that one character turns out to be "Supermarket" .. I can totally see Supermaket being a character you learn in Chinese 101
