I'm a student from Australia who used to have a lot of time on her hands but doesn't have that much anymore. Now she has other stuff on her hands.

Missy Prissy

Okay. Feeling all better now after reading this: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/67813116.html#cutid1

The nicknaming of Zuckerberg's girlfriend is so typical of Chinese people. And not even in a bad way. I used to report back to you how family friends ("aunties") would speak in Chinese to my mother and say, "Oh! Junaberry is quite fat!" and, "My! She's put on weight. What a fei po." Except they never quite mean in in a malicious way. It's just how Chinese people are. It's partly pride (as in, "Oh! Junaberry's quite fat. Look at MY daughter, she's lost considerable weight") and partly just amusement to them ("Har har! Oh fatties... how they amuse me").

And that's the end of that.
