Funny Office Lingo..

[Luvkid]

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 and then your rice bowl will be solid as gold! :spank:

A little crude.....
:cheeky:
