卖淫的 sounds like m-in-d. 石头 sounds like stork, and incidentally also sounds like stone Savior= 马本座 Ma Bonjwa, or simply bonjwa (T)NaDa = 奶大 another similar-sounding name. this seems like a reference to nada's baby face, or it could be "first wife/mistress". 奶 is a really connected word, it can be cute or perverted depending on the association. in the case of nada, i think it is mostly cute. Nal_ra = 天使、大妈 angel. aunt no idea on the aunt one, but it is the most popular (T)Lomo (T)= 公公、劳模 公公 -- eunuch 劳模 -- exemplary worker. a parody of communist slang Yellow[Arnc] Luxury these two are just called his little bro/his big bro. since the words for little bro and big bro are different, it sounds nicer in chinese one of the more elaborate systems is centered around Flash and the style of terran play he exemplifies. (T)Flash = 教主 ordinarily this would translate to "pope," but if anyone has read chinese wuxia stories by jin yong, the reference is directly to the structure of the 日月神教/魔教, which is a constant presence in that particular fantasy world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smiling,_Proud_Wanderer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heaven_Sword_and_Dragon_Saber#Ming_Cult the 'cult' over which Flash is master is called the "turtling cult," reference to his no scout, turtling play. because flash is the best and original practitioner of the cult, he is the pope. then there are the two "defenders of the faith" directly below him in Mind and Sea. this is in reference to their adopting flash's style and being very good at it. anytime a terran shows some signs of playing the turtling style, he is described as "converted" or "initiated" into the cult. lots of these references are to wuxia stories. even the nicknames for strategies. so an all-in cheese is called "大招" meaning "ulti." like the ulti of a warcraft 3 hero. so, Sea.Up = 大招男 cheeser (T)go.go = 大招人族 cheese terran | ||

As mentioned, Flash is 教主, which can mean several things, but mostly refers to a religious or cult leader. However, popular Chinese novels give this some other meanings (will be explained below), so I will say that 教主 = "cult leader" for now. Sea and Mind are referred as 右护法 (right-side guardian of the cult leader), 左护法 (left-side guardian of the cult leader). These terminologies strictly refer to a certain novel which uses these days. -------------------------------------- OK here it goes. In a popular Chinese novel, 教主 (cult leader) refers to a certain person who is extremely skilled in martial arts; not only that, he has a lot of followers who either admire him or want to learn the techniques or styles from him (hence a cult). This refers to Flash because Flash is an extremely good terran player. However, since the cult is so big, 教主 (cult leader) also have some subcoordinates. Two of his most important ones are 右护法 (right-side guardian of the cult leader) and 左护法 (left-side guardian of the cult leader). This refers to Sea and Mind also being very good terran players, but not as good as Flash. | ||
