Happy F'ing New Year

F U!
More preparations for Chinese New Years. Here we see them hanging a banner with a character representing "FU", which means blessing or good fortune. 'Round these parts, it sure means something different!

Some times it truly amazes me what pops up when you Google a subject. Two odd links that are sure to offend:

eBay: Search Results for f you

This is actually the character Fu2 (in mandarin) hanging upside down, because that way it resembles the character dao4 (arrive), meaning that luck with arrive.

That's great. Now when somebody says, "F U!" to me (which happens a lot), I can respond: "Gee, thanks! Blessings and Good Fortune on you, too!"
