Only in China

I love the Chinese phrase/word "SuanLe", pronounced: swan luh. It's a wonderful word with so many meanings: "it's been counted", it's in the past, no big deal, whatever, forget about it, move on etc.

There's also a phrase in Chines that goes like this: "Cha Bu Duo". It flows off the tongue, and it's so cool, I'm surprised it hasn't made it's way into the English vocab like Say La Vi has.

It means 'just about' or 'not a big difference'. For those of you that live here, you see this in many parts of China.

Sometimes getting things custom made, and the waste being 2 inches too small- you just might complain, to which you just might get a "Cha Bu Duo" in response from the seamstress (and no refund).

Hunter found an excellent example of Cha Bu Duo.

Sour cream and onion Pringles. Sounds good huh?

Guess they ran out of Sour Cream & Onion....
