            This is really funnie!! :rotflmao: Especially the LL thingy :rotflmao: My instinct is the same as auntieM. Anyway i dun use any of these for office terms....And then i realised quite a number of KSP members brian very CLEAN leh....



            Recall from a local chinese movie-starring by Fann Wong & Gurmit Singh where they mentioned in email, the cc part is to \"COVER your CARCHGN\"-CARCHNG is translated from hokkien means buttocks. And bcc \"MAI-dun want COVER your CARCHNG\" This also made me :rotflmao:

              ksi:
              Term: No picture No sound

              What it means: Completely MIA
              Origin: Maybe from Chinese
              Usage: \"After he worked on this project offsite, no picture no sound.\"
              Origin more like from hokkien, and should be written otherwise \"No sound No picture\"(In hokkien said as-Boh xai(sound), boh se) :rotflmao:

                One palm carry the balls the other palm \"Tim Tim Wan Seck\" ( in cantonese\" hehe)


                The first part of the phrase from a colleague
                \"who can lie without betting an eyelid\"
                The other part from hubby.

                So a phrase is conjured which means
                Look after your boss πŸ˜› and then your rice bowl will be solid as gold! :spank:

                A little crude.....
                :cheeky: πŸ¦†
