A few moments ago, my handphone rang. A Chinese woman spoke to me in heavy China-Mandarin accent. The following conversation was in Mandarin.
China woman: Wei, I am calling from XYZ company. I want to do survey on tv shows, can you spare me 1 minute of your time?
Me: Err… sorry… my Mandarin is not good.
China woman: It’s ok. I can use simple Mandarin.
Me: Err.. sorry….
China woman: Just take one minute to do this survey.. blah blah .. blah blah……
Me: Err.. sorry.. but I don’t have time.
China woman: You small duck head*! Say earlier lah! @#$$^&**&
Me: HWANG PAH DAN!!!!!!!!
* Direct translation: Siao Yah Dou
Then, I hung up. Laughing my ass off.
I wonder if there are anymore vulgar words in Mandarin. I seriously want to learn. Hwang pah dan is too mild!

hahahaa… I kena the SAME “TV SHOW” survey crap two days ago!
I just answered “Don’t understand. English pls!”
whatever she said I just said “Don’t understand”.
Then she gave up, and hung up…. without a GOODBYE!
I wonder if this is one of those scams

Haha! I couldn’t think about other mandarin vulgar as well. Maybe you should try hantam hokkien on them or just malay. I think they are rougher.
