I don't have much contact with this girl (looking at her interests will pretty much show why; it starts with anti-capitalist and goes from there -- she's 22 going on 14, and sounds like a Canadian Valley Girl). But she's taking a stab at learning Chinese:
I practiced writing a bunch of the Chinese curses from Firefly last night, so now it will look pretty when I write: 糟糕 zao gao - all bad, all messed up 渾蛋 hun dan - bastard 狗屎 gou shi - dog crap 閉嘴 bi zui - shut up 哎呀，壞了 aiya, huai le - oh damn, this is bad 操你的妈 cao ni de ma - go fuck your mother 可恶的 kewu de - loathsome
Always useful.
I give credit where due: Those are probably accurate. Altavista's Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr) puts them on target, within its own (severe) limits.
