In Taiwan, there are some numbers with special meanings and they are quite funny. Have you ever heard about them? Let\u2019s some examples here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comes from Minnan Language (one of dialects in Taiwan). It means \u201csaying something which is not important\u201d or \u201csay something which is not helpful\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Taiwan, when somebody says\u201d\u4ed6\u8ddf\u6211\u8aaa\u4e86\u4e00\u4e9b543\u7684\u8a71(t\u0101 g\u0113n w\u01d2 shu\u014dle y\u012bxi\u0113 w\u01d4s\u00ecs\u0101n dehu\u00e0)\u201d, it means he came to me and said something not important, or I don\u2019t really like, or not meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This also comes from Minnan Language, which means can\u2019t managing things well, always forget lots of things. In Taiwan, when somebody says \u201c\u4ed6\u505a\u4e8b2266\u7684\uff0c\u6211\u4e0d\u653e\u5fc3(t\u0101 zu\u00f2sh\u00ec \u00e8r’\u00e8rli\u00f9li\u00f9 de, w\u01d2 b\u00f9 f\u00e0ngx\u012bn)\u201d, it means he can\u2019t do things properly, so, I really worried about it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This also comes from Minnan Language.

There is no problem of the activity itself. The problem is some of their members are pretty much like gangland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, when we refer someone as \u201c8+9\u201d, it with bad meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This also comes from Minnan Language.
