True Story.
I stone back to World of Warcraft’s Ironforge and some farmer is pitching his haul.
So, I try out my newfound knowledge of Asian … maybe it’s Mandarin, maybe it’s Cantonese, maybe I dunno what it is. Still, I have skillz.
/tell KnownFarmer ni hao. [Item] gold?
/tell Foton NI HAO! (gotta give him credit for enthusiasm.) 50G.
/tell KnownFarmer 30G.
/tell Foton bie bie.
Foton says to guild, wtf is bie bie? Anyone? Cmon, you college people should know this.
*crickets*
/tell KnownFarmer 35G?
(Maybe that’ll work. What the fuck would I know?)
/2 TradeChannel hey, anyone know Asian anything? what does bie bie mean? Does it mean “go to hell” or does it mean “let’s dicker”?
TradeChannel answers, Asian is a language?
(I think … FFS.) Answers: Are you high? Of course not. Anyone that knows anything?
Of course not.
(P.S. Apparently bie bie means “Go to Hell”. Maybe it means “The offer price is solid.” You ask me, it means “Your money isn’t good around here”. Whatever.)
