The nickname of Tim in china

[jiangrong]

I am a chinese boy, my english isn't good. Perhaps my words cann't rightly express my meaning, but I will try my best. There are very very many people are Tim's fans in china . I think that in china the number of Tim's fans is only less than Yao and Kobe. Tim is my favorite player. In chinese forum , fans of Tim give Tim a nickname:booby(•ðŽq�j. Because when he play , there are very very little expression on his face. I can ensure that the nickname is entirely start from the favor. We very very hope that Tim can attend the Olympic of Beijing in 2008, but I know the possibility is very very little.

Your grammar and usage are as good as or better than the grammar and usage of many posters in this forum -- and they are born and educated in the United States!

Welcome!!

[jiangrong]

Booby?


Perhaps my expression is wrong. Gawk? Goof ? The nickname given by chinese fans is start from the favor of Tim , not dislike.

[milkyway21]

i guess in China they belive in C.H.E.S.T.?they believe in "booby". opps, Duncan...:lmao

[jiangrong]

That's the funniest thing ever :lol

"Stone Buddha" is often appeared in the official newspaper or magazine. The nickname "booby" is given by the fans of Tim in chinese forum.

[Leetonidas]

Gawk and goof wouldn't be a good one. We'll go with Booby, that sounds pretty funny.

Welcome!!

thanks a lot

[milkyway21]

Perhaps my expression is wrong. Gawk? Goof ? The nickname given by chinese fans is start from the favor of Tim , not dislike.hey jiangrong, what is the meaning of Booby in English? Is this a Chinese word? :angel

[1Parker1]

Damn, if Tim's nickname is Booby, what the heck do people call Kobe in China? :smokin

[spurs=bling]

Damn, if Tim's nickname is Booby, what the heck do people call Kobe in China? :smokin
:lol i don't want to know

[milkyway21]

Damn, if Tim's nickname is Booby, what the heck do people call Kobe in China? :smokinisn't "Kobe" a dish or a place they used to eat in Japan?

[Melmart1]

Kobe is a type of beef steak, some of the best food you will ever eat. But it's Japanese, not Chinese.

[cs100]

Welcome to the forum jiangrong. :)

In many languages, direct translations don't work. Also, sometimes, cultural meaning is different.

Anyway, I like it. Booby Duncan is looking good as we get closer to the playoffs. Duncan may not receive any of the regular season awards this year, but if he keeps getting better, he will end up with the greatest award: the championship and maybe even the finals MVP. :smokin:

[Kori Ellis]

Perhaps my expression is wrong. Gawk? Goof ? The nickname given by chinese fans is start from the favor of Tim , not dislike.

If you mean "goof", then I think the English word you are looking for is "boob". Do they think Tim is goofy? (in a good way)

[ShoogarBear]

Booby?

Tim better hope Horry doesn't find out about this . . .

[timvp]

Booby it is. Perfect nickname :tu

These Chinese posters are awesome.

[timvp]

Booby rules.

[spurs=bling]

Booby?

Tim better hope Horry doesn't find out about this . . .

I wonder if Horry lurks....

Let's see:

Big Shot Bobby and The Big Booby Fundamental. :D

[milkyway21]

i think booby is a bird. A diver.

A bird that glide under water at almost as great a degree of swiftness as when flying in the air.

[Kori Ellis]

i think booby is a bird. A diver.

A bird that glide under water at almost as great a degree of swiftness as when flying in the air.

But he's saying the word means "goof" in English. So he probably means "boob". So booby is cool I guess :lmao

[Despot]

So, is this why Trainwrecks title is "I Like Boobs"?

[milkyway21]

But he's saying the word means "goof" in English. So he probably means "boob". So booby is cool I guess :lmaobooby birds got their name from the word "bobo" or "comedian".

maybe. Anyway, whatever it is, i like the new Tim Duncan nickname. yeah it's cool. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

The bravatars were a foreshadowing.

It's a sign, I'm telling you.

Now you gals can say you're just showing your support for Tim.

[spurs=bling]

So, is this why Trainwrecks title is "I Like Boobs"?
:lol

[jmard5]

fans of Tim give Tim a nickname:booby(•ðŽq�j. Because when he play , there are very very little expression on his face.

Must be something pertaining to "stoic".

[JamStone]

When booby is sore, booby should get rubbed on.

Many man try to make moves on booby.

Many man get rejected by booby.

Ever heard of a Hall of Fame booby?

Double double = DD ... that means booby was BIG.

Booby likes to squeeze ball before play.

Tony Parker makes a lot of passes at booby.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i think the chinese have been staring at the girls avatars in here too much :D ( . )( . ) boobies :D:D hahaha

everyone remember joe dumars, if you say du mars then its a really realy bad word in vietnamese, like f u m** :(

i bet yah most chinese fans kiss there finger and rub there boobie when tim duncan plays :D:D queer eye for the chinese guys

[Vashner]

You know what they call Yao Ming?

Overhyped.. no rings...

[jiangrong]

But he's saying the word means "goof" in English. So he probably means "boob". So booby is cool I guess :lmao


I say that I don't know how to rightly express my meaning. I don't know the difference between the words :booby ,goof and gawk.....

The nickname "booby" in chinese forum means cool, calm, short-spoken and little expression on the face. It is a commendatory word.

[cs100]

That sounds like stoic to me. The meaning is exactly what Duncan represents - a quiet champion. :tu :)

Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: philosophic
Synonyms: aloof, apathetic, calm, cool, detached, dispassionate, dry, enduring, impassive, imperturbable, indifferent, indomitable, long-suffering, matter-of-fact, patient, phlegmatic, resigned, self-controlled, sober, stoical, stolid, unconcerned, unemotional, unflappable, unmoved

When you entry the forum "www.sohu.com" and "www.chinaspurs.com", you can find that very few fans call Tim 'Stone Buddha". The most fans call him booby �ithe chinese is �g•ðŽq�h�j. The reasons I have said. Perhaps the word "booby" isn't right to express my meaning.

My computer can't display your Chinese character correctly, but after I browse through the ChinaSpurs.com and some other Chinese websites, I guess what you mean is "stone tower"（石塔）, right?

If it is possible, you can read the article: http://club.sports.sohu.com/read_elite.php?b=basketball&a=1452753

The article is about of the spurs. In the forum, very very fans call Tim "booby". After you read the article, perhaps you can help me to translate the nickname rightly.

[ShoogarBear]

Stone Buddha is actually very, very cool.

I guess we'll wait to see if there's a better translation for "booby".

[spurster]

Better than titmouse maybe.

[xcoriate]

^ RACK ^

This thread :lmao

[ObiwanGinobili]

:lmao at no one telling the original poster what "booby" means in english.

and I'll agree with cs100 & the other chinese poster .. he most likely means stoic.

[waynewell]

hi, jiangrong
I am one of fans of duncan from china,too.

to milkway21. bobby isn't a kind of bird when we use it as the nickname of Duncan.

It is just because Tim doesn't have much expression on his face,
so we call him booby.
In china, it is said that a person with high IQ looks like a fool. In that way, we use the word "booby" as the nickname of Tim.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

this thread rules. :tu Welcome all Chinese Spurs fans. You guys are a GREAT addition to the forum!

After I read the article, "booby" seems to be the right word.

In Chinese, there is a proverb "A man of great wisdom often seems slowwitted". Those who call Duncan "booby" mean the same.

However since you asked . . .









I guess that explains why he wears the pasties.

[charmie21]

Booby Duncan sure sounds funny at first.. but with the meaning, it fits perfectly! Like the word is made for Booby.. ehhrr.. I mean Timmy..!

[Chris]

I am Spanish am going to say the nicknames in Spain

Bruce Bowen = Bruce Lee


This is correct. I have heard Spanish commentary when the Spurs played against the Memphis Grizzlies. They love Pau Gasol in Spain. The commentator always referred to Bruce as Bruce Lee and whenever someone made a 3 he would say "triple'!" Spanish commentators rule!

[DJREN37]

I like "booby" better than what the Duke fans gave him as a nickname when he played at Wake Forrest. The Duke fans use to chant "Spock" and he use to always smile and have big games against them.

[Jimcs50]

, fans of Tim give Tim a nickname:booby.

No wonder I like TD.


:)

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

"And the Pistons defenders pressure Duncan at the half court line. It's a booby trap!"

[texbound]

That is right. I am in Shanghai. Where are you?

Welcome Jiangrong. That's why I love this forum. So many people from other cultures on this board.

I love Shanghai. It's a wonderful city (I was only there two days and stayed in the Pudong area). I spent most of my trip taking a Yangtze river cruise from Chongqing to Wuhan. Beautiful country. I plan on going back to China soon, so maybe I'll get to see more of Shanghai.

[TDMVPDPOY]

everyone just wants to rub or squeeze booby

[charmie21]

i want to squeeze booby! Timmy the booby, that is..! LOL

I guess that explains why he wears the pasties.

We very very hope that Tim can attend the Olympic of Beijing in 2008, but I know the possibility is very very little.

Oh, amongst all the confusion, nobody mentioned that Tim will probably not play in the Olympics again. He had a bad experience in Athens and said he wouldn't play internationally again. :( I think Kobe will be there, though, so that should make a few Chinese NBA fans happy.

[dmac]

In chinese forum , fans of Tim give Tim a nickname:booby(•ðŽq�j.
I am 3/4 Chinese. What is the phonetic word in Mandarin Pinyin?

[TDMVPDPOY]

in my language booby = titties :D:D

[TimFan]

I am 3/4 Chinese. What is the phonetic word in Mandarin Pinyin?

It is Dai Zi 呆子. Some overseas Chinese fans also call him "Deng Dai 邓呆" or "Mu Mu 木 木". All are very cute nicknames, full of fondness.
:spin

[TDMVPDPOY]

mu mu sounds like a name for a puppy man, just like mimi :(:(

[ShoogarBear]

How often do you get to see NBA games in China?

[ObiwanGinobili]

booby or boobies :
tits
titties
breasts
mammary
mammary glands
fun bags
pillow twins

etc etc etc.

see avatar for further clarification.

[Tigole Bitties]

It is Dai Zi ´ô×Ó. Some overseas Chinese fans also call him "Deng Dai µË´ô" or "Mu Mu ľ ľ". All are very cute nicknames, full of fondness.

Dai Zi? Doesn't that mean "bag"? So booby = funbags?

Mu Mu? Doesn't that mean "Wood wood"? Twin wood? 7 foot wood? Morningwood?

Ni ma hao... err... ni hao ma!

I'm also a Chinese fans of TD.There are some misunderstands about this topic.Surely,many fans of basketball-forum of China call TD "booby".But the best faithful fans of TD named TD "Stone Buddha" or "Stone tower" ratherthan "booby".
Statisically Duncan is having one of the worst seasons of his career,but I deeply believe that TD will erupt in playoff and he will win the most valuable player,like in lastyear.
