At least they give you a public place to get your baboosh off in China.

You get your baboosh off in a public restroom in the States and you get arrested. Just ask George Michael!

And when I asked you to stop calling me Shirley, I didn’t mean to imply that “Landslip” was an acceptable alternative.

No that didn’t work either. I was trying to enclose LadyMacBeth in html type brackets.
Oh well. If you have to explain a joke, you didn’t tell it right!

Tan,

I’ve been looking all OVER for that charachter æ‹– (tuo1), since I know éž‹ (xie2) means “shoes”. Was driving me crazy trying to find that first character since it wasn’t in my character dictionary.

As for how that facility equated “slippers” with “baboosh”???
Nary a clue. Guess I should never call a granny an “old shoe”!

There was an old babooshka and she lived in a shower….

Yugan:

(Continuing yours)
There was an old babooshka and she lived in a shower….

(Mine)
….she didn’t want to landslip
as she got off every hour.

(Sung to the Mother Goose rhyme of “There was an old woman who lived in a shoe…”)

And now, back to biz: 手部???

I googled ‘baboosh’ and found advertisements for slippers. Think some of us have just learned a new word. I certainly did.

Pete:

The way one distinguishes/ separates chinese characters is often by the left part of the character. For the word “æ‹–”, it is classified under “手部” because of the left part of the character. “部” just means “part”, as in, part of the character. If you were to look up the word in the dictionary, that would be the section youd find it under. Although my guess is you dont use an old analog dictionary, and probably an electronic one, making this whole conversation meaningless. g’bye

Andy and Yugan: It’s done the same with Japanese characters as in Chinese. It’s just not called 手部 (Shou3 Bu4) as it’s pronounced in Mandarin. If, in the study of Chinese, the character 部 is used for describing which part of the character is the radical, then that’s different from Japanese. In Japanese, the left-side radical of a character is called: 偏 [へん](Eng: “Hen”). The hanzi (kanji) “hand” radical is called 手偏 [てへん] (Eng: “Tehen”) in Japanese, since the Chinese character 手 (shou3) is prononced “Te” in the kun-yomi (native Japanese) reading and “Shu” in the on-yomi (approximation of the… Read more »

A bit presumptious there don’t you think sign people? I’ve never even met this Baboosh character and I’m supposed to get he/she/it off just like that? What kind of girl do you think I am. I expect to be wined and dined a bit before I get the Baboosh off.
