I think it was from an artist on twitter or pixiv, but I don't have the link saved unfortunately

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Clown is cute ! So are the rest too

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have a bunch!

Also have a lot of Apus, but avoid posting them because of their association with the alt-right. Anyone who doesn't know I'm not a chud might think I am if I post them. Generally, I keep them for my own amusement.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

pathetic ones are great espec pigeon

[–] Shaleesh@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Of my 300 deep folder of reaction images I have probably only ever used a third of them.

Translating Chinese memes to help me learn Chinese:

当我喂了我的猫之后

Dāng wŏ - when I

wèi le - fed (喂 means to feed. But if you say it like wéi it means "hey" and is used on the phone as a greeting)

wŏ de māo - my cat (的 indicates possession)

zhīhòu - later/after

一会见臭傻逼

Yīhuì jiàn - see you later (一会 means "a moment" or "a while". 见 - like in 再见, zàijiàn, goodbye - literally means "to see" or "meet with". So "see in a while")

chòu - means "stinking", "disgraceful", "bad"

shăbī - a curse word that is misogynistic (which is probably why it's now censored in the OP - well not in the thumbnail, but when you expand the picture, apparently). 傻 means "stupid" and 逼 is a verb meaning "to press" or figuratively "to extort". But! That bī is not the bī that is originally used in the phrase. The correct bī is 屄 which is a swear word for vagina. So, the bī used here is a homophone that was possibly used to avoid censorship, but has since taken on the meaning of the original in this context. It is also abbreviated SB sometimes.

TIL 後 simplifies as 后... that's quite a difference

Not so much a meme, but a snafu I really like.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Uhh, dickhead isn't the most accurate translation for "{臭傻逼|chòu shǎ bì}"

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Ik, it's 'smelly dumb c' the text was already in the meme. I should probs blur it out cos yeah it's an adjacent slur... hadn't picked up on that thanks
