Do you have a Chinese name?

因此, 必须多学习

Ok you guys, what happened to the ground rules? Where is the pin yin?

I have a feeling I am going to get the same chinese name that I already have in english. Wait, maybe I will get lucky and it won't translate. Mustfocus, Mike, Martin, what is the pin yin and the characters for "jackass?" Will it translate to chinese?

Don't ask me...I cheat and use Google Translate for everything I need.  Sorry.

Not that I normally call anyone that... but I guess 驴 (Lu / Donkey) is the closest we could go...

As for Dave... 戴夫 (Dai Fu)

[Rhonald]

嘿您 is my Chinese name 

[Martin]

HAHAHAHAHA

[Bee964]

So I guess then mine is Lu Dai Fu? (can't get this to produce the same characters you have so I can only do the pin yin)

A vulgar thing in China would be the pinyin version of Grass Mud Horse

Saying it to someone is very likely to get them very upset or laugh if they know the song

OK.  Mustfocus.  The phrase I was looking for is awful man.  I was having a terrible day with my store.  It absolutely amazes me that people can fight so much when the boss is gone.  There are only two other people and they have been fighting ever since I left.  So I was in kind of a pissy mood and Peggy said I was awful.  I laughed and apologized and explained what was going on.  She said you are a awful man to which I replied that is my new Chinese name tao yan.   It has been a lot of laughs since that day and it brightened the day for me.  So now when she is a little feisty she will call me tao yan.

I try the one you suggested on her and see what she says.

I was going to link the video of Grass Mud Horse on Youtube but it is vulgar and political.  Search for it if you really want to know about it.

Never knew of this one...but yeah, I can see how that's vulgar (if you can't find it under Grass-Mud Horse, look for Cao Ni Ma).  Actually it reminds me of something I read a long time ago about a song (Mei Hua/ 梅花).  It used to be considered a song with political overtones... and now they come up with stuff like this...  Tells you how the young have evolved over the years...
