xiǎojiě ( 小姐) = means "Miss" or "Small elder sister" in most contexts but, now in Northern China, also connotes "prostitute" to many young women, as it suggests expressions like zuò xiǎojiě ( 做小姐) or sānpéi xiǎojiě ( 三陪小姐), which refers to bargirls who may also be prostitutes.mài dòufu ( simplified Chinese: 卖豆腐 traditional Chinese: 賣豆腐 literally "selling tofu") is a euphemism for prostitution.In addition to the above expressions used as insults directed against women, other insults involve insinuating that they are prostitutes: There is actually a verb for frequenting prostitutes in Chinese. lǎo piáo ( 老嫖) literally, old frequenter of prostitutes.yín chóng ( 淫蟲) literally, lewd worms.dà yí mā ( 大姨妈 大姨媽) = Literally "The Eldest Aunt", a popular mainland contemporary term which refers to menstruation.èrbī ( 二屄, IM: 2B) = fucking idiot or inbred (lit." abalone" due to its flesh having a superficial resemblance to a vulva) jībái ( simplified Chinese: 鸡白 traditional Chinese: 雞白) = cunt (Taiwanese Mandarin, near-homophone of Hokkien profanity chi-bai).The former are more commonly used as insults and are also more aggressive and have negative connotations: There appear to be more words for vagina than for penis. Based on regular sound change rules, we would expect the word for bird in Mandarin to be pronounced diǎo, but Mandarin dialects' pronunciations of the word for bird evolved to an alveolar nasal initial, likely as a means of taboo avoidance, giving contemporary niǎo while most dialects in the south retain the Middle Chinese alveolar stop initial and the homophony or near homophony of these words.
The fǎnqiè of " 屌" ( 丁了切) and the fǎnqiè of " simplified Chinese: 鸟 traditional Chinese: 鳥" ( 都了切) denoted the same pronunciation both began with a voiceless unaspirated alveolar stop (/t/ in IPA and d in pinyin) and the same vowel and tone. Note: One should note that in Middle Chinese the words for 屌 and 鳥 were homophones.
Formerly Internet slang, now a popular word often used in self-mockery (lit. diǎosī ( 屌丝 屌絲) = originally meant male pubic hair, but means an unprivileged nobody.bāopí ( 包皮) = foreskin (literally: wrapper).guītóu ( 龟头 龜頭) = turtle's head (glans/penis).
