Umm, dude/dudette, why are you telling me this? I just found this nifty site which explains the meaning of the various Chinese swear phrases found in Firefly. The point is to entertain those who have watched the US show and would like to know what those phrases mean... not the other way around.

Regardless, they've improved the site in the YEARS since I posted this original entry. I've updated this ancient blog entry to reflect the sensibilities of someone too lazy to bother clicking a link to figure out what I'm talking about.
