  • Hi people, yep that is water for sure coz there are lots of painters of the sort in Bj, and you see the water fading after a while. Great for the environment too huh.

  • is there a word for these water writers in Chinese?

  • more like Oil caligraphy

  • well that is pretty amazing, but you know whats more amazing is that we know a whole language and it only has 26 letters

  • i am a chinese and the word coolie, like what Razhyck said, means manual laborer. However it's nothing racist, and it definitely does not mean "cool".

  • whosyourdiddy, I "lol" @ your logic. It's called an education, get one? And yes, I am an American.

  • Just because the man chooses to carry his water in a dulux can doesn't make it dulux paint sheesh think outside the square... As for whose ya diddy you are a bogan redneck and need to watch your mouth mr trailer man.

  • Don't sweat it. These are probably the same idiots that scream racism when they hear the word "niggardly".

  • thats about right. It describes about 80% of the population around the world. someone should tell these "Coolies" to stop having kids that they cant feed. you can stick that culture bull shit up your ass. America owns and third worlders hate that we prosper. "phonetically derived" what an asshole!

  • wtf. Ya imm sure she was calling him a hobo.

    geeze! doesn't anyone know the slang for english anymore
