I Have a Question
#1

Hi ChinesePod team, my question is this:
I saw the movie which 三字经 is bad words? But when I search online which is not feel so?
I a bit confuse what is 三字经 really about?

Thanks

三字经 only means swear words in the slang, or ironic sense. The original meaning is the “Three Character Classic”. If you already searched on line I think you know that. For what it may be worth, here is a related lesson:

Hi Eddie,

@podster is right. Because most of the Chinese bad words are three-word phrase, we call them 三字经 as well. But it originally means “Three-Character Classic”. You won’t be confused between these two meanings if you know the context well.
