I learned a new phrase today on EVE Online, the eve-radio channel.
[18:03:36] st0ra > Splutty - would you do a translation for me please?
[18:03:38] Bobway > hey Splutty did you hear that Diaego's I-DOG Peed on the server ?
[18:03:44] Splutty Eriminov > Having a cold again, so getting really annoyed with it :(
[18:04:02] Splutty Eriminov > What's that Stora?
[18:04:05] st0ra > I need to know how to say: Was there a thank you in there somewhere?
[18:04:51] Splutty Eriminov > Hmm.
[18:05:05] Splutty Eriminov > Zat daar een verborgen bedankje in?
[18:05:11] Splutty Eriminov > Not quite it, though...
[18:05:15] CommandCom > diplomacy for beginners
[18:05:15] Splutty Eriminov > We don't really use that in dutch.
[18:05:29] st0ra > a lot of English won't translate
[18:05:37] st0ra > not with the same undertones, anyway
[18:05:42] Bradshaw Kingsman > o/
[18:05:44] BrerLapin > hehe
[18:05:46] BrerLapin > true
[18:05:59] Splutty Eriminov > No. Diplomacy for beginners would be: Gun a shi long fu, qu qiang jian long mao a
[18:06:10] CommandCom > stora taking dutch lessons ? :-)
[18:06:14] st0ra > eh?
[18:06:19] st0ra > yes Com
[18:06:23] BrerLapin > Or i have a hammer & Im not afraid to use it on your toes
[18:06:27] Splutty Eriminov > (Drop dead farmer, go fuck a panda) is what that translates to roughly :)
[18:06:37] st0ra > ouchies!
So, from now on... when you see a farmer cranking away in your favourite MMO, smile and say 'Gun a shi long fu, qu qiang jian long mao a'
