BS: Instant Chinese

I was amused by one of the postings AWOL the bottom line which mentioned the bushi (pron; busher but do not lengthen the er sound) nappies.

Here are some other 'bushi' items which will help you master Chinese.

Bushi timian; Not loose face!
Bushi dati; fail to see the larger issue
Bushi haodai; literally cannot tell difference between chalk and cheese
Bushi shiwu; show ignorance of the times
Bushi; fault or blame

Sadly I cannot find any suitable Chinese for Blair.

Maybe some other Cat linguists can find some in another language (apart from pure Anglo-Saxon)

Ferme la Bush? Ferme la bouche? Shut up?

I'm not sure who said Santorum was Latin for Rectal Orifice, but it is singularly apropros. (Rick Santorum is the Senator from Pennsylvania, who is slightly to the right of Bush.)


Would Bush i do be the art of not going to war, but sending other people to prove you're a bigger man than your dad?
