Today I get a mail from a supplier in China. The guys name was Zero. Now I just need to find someone called Hero, so they can get in touch.
Jesus Quintana: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "click."
The Dude: Jesus.
Jesus Quintana: You said it, man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.

Mr.Lahey: The shitabyss!
Randy: Mr. Lahey, not another night of the shitabyss, please?!
Mr.Lahey: Ah, fuck it.

Was just watching "大學生了沒" on TV at a lunch shop. One of the students on the show (chubby, male) called himself "Juicy".

The guys name was Zero.

Sounds like a name assigned to him by a bignose english teacher with a mean sense of humour.

Well, if a lion took a bite out of him, he probably would be. :roflmao:

Recently, speaking with adult students about their bizarre names, I've come to realise that most of these guys (and girls) actually choose these names themselves. Kind of like Laowais with odd names in Chinese. They're often quite aware of the meaning, but oblivious to how it doesn't quite make sense. In this case, it may be because he admires Japanese Kamikaze pilots or something. :idunno:
