I had posted a story on August 28, 2008 describing new Taiwanese vocabularies on how wife and husband call each other. I said that a wife will call her husband, an old man 老公, while a husband will call his wife, an old woman 老婆.
Here is a new vocabulary that I learned on May 24, 2009. This was the day when we had a hike from the Two-River二 水 town to the Ming-Jeng 名間 Village. Before the hike, participants were given 1-2 minutes to introduce himself or herself. There, I heard a new Taiwanese word from a person describing a beautiful lady.
Some one said that he came to hike because some 'square-look-little-sister' 正妹, Ms. X, had introduced to him about this wonderful opportunity. All other people understood what 'square-look-little Sister' 正妹 means except me. After explainations from other people, I now have a new Taiwanese vocabulary. The 'square-look-little-Sister' 正妹 means the beautiful lady.
