...urinal screens. I shit you not.

'Until this day I did not know it was Barzini all along she sold this stuff'.

She brought some out at the dinner table. Said they prevent splashing. I told her to put one in the salad bowl and I'd try it out. Hilarity ensued.

This is *not* the kind of thing that I would even think about demonstrating at the dinner table.

But, whatever floats your boat, if you'll pardon the expression.

OMG she didn't go along with it. But the reaction was to die for.

Mikailoh - there was a New Coffee Room moment a couple of weeks ago that made me think of you. I was at a party a couple of weeks ago, and the person was playing a "Bruce Springsteen" concert show on the TV as background music.

A song came on call "Red Headed Woman" :D

Red Head Woman

(I actually think I do not know any red headed women!)

Quote:
 
Ang mo (Chinese: 紅毛; pinyin: hóng máo; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: âng-mô͘ / âng-mn̂g) or ang moh is a racial epithet describing white people, mainly in Malaysia and Singapore, and sometimes in Taiwan. It literally means "red-haired" and originates from Hokkien, a variety of Southern Min.[1] The usage is similar to the Cantonese term gweilo (鬼佬; "ghost man").

Other similar terms include ang mo kow (紅毛猴; "red-haired monkeys"), ang mo kui (紅毛鬼; "red-haired devil"), ang mo lang (紅毛人; "red-haired people"). Although the term had some derogatory connotations, it has entered common usage in Singapore and Malaysia and refers to a white person or, when used as an adjective, Western culture in general.


This wouldn't work around here. I know a lot of redheads - not derogatory at all.

I think the reason for that term is that Chinese are pretty much uniform - we all look kind of alike, have black hair, "yellow" skin, etc. There is not as much variety as in western cultures. In history, anything different could be considered unlucky. It was important to be part of society. So, when a foreigners came, they looked different. Different colored hair, or size of the nose. People were not sure what to think, but thought they could be unlucky.

Another term for a foreigner is "big nose". Growing up, if you asked me or my friends how to identify a foreigner, we would say by the size of their nose. LOL

I don't think it is meant to be mean, and it is not used as much anymore, as people have become more exposed to different cultures. But, some of the old generation still use it.

I never heard of these before now.

In scrolling around trying to learn how they're supposed to work, I mostly found references that were so damn discreet that they wouldn't answer this. Mostly just a picture of the thing floating in space. Then I found this: " ... they occupy the mind of the user and give them a spot to aim for. Our brains work in a better and more focused manner when given a task or a goal. Instead of a poster-sized expanse of white, we're given a point or section of color to focus on, so we can aim in that direction."

Dang, who says we're dumbing down, America? :lol2:

So let me ask you men: What oh what do you do when you gotta go and you can't find a terlet with a urinal screen?

Guess you're in big trouble, eh? :lol2:

In Japan, foreigners are called, "Gaijin," which literally means, "Outside person," "alien," or "outsider." And yeah, the Japanese share the same "myth," that if a man has a strong/high nose, he must be well hung.

Gives a whole new meaning to a woman leading a man around by the nose...
