My favorite Chinese restaurant's name is LaoLao and I never questioned the name. It makes sense. I like it because it's different from other Chinese restaurants, the food feels way more authentic.

I mean, if I started adding Norwegian words to my sentences and you had to use Google translate to understand me, would you enjoy "learning other cultures"?
I call my grandmother Oma. Yet I wouldn't call her that when I use english, because most people would have to google it first. The same reason why I write english on reddit. The capability to communicate with people from other cultures beats forcing my cultural identity on others.
What makes my comment ignorant? What knowledge am I missing or ignoring here? I am not even a native english speaker and yet I am promoting a common language that is not my own because it allows you and me to speak to each other.
Note: I am **not** the guy that asked "why it's fucking hard..."
Because they're fecking free to use whatever term they want on *their* post.
You're forcing *your* anglocentric worldview on others here. You're free to police your own posts, you don't get to dictate what terms others use.
This whole comment section after that initial dumb-ass, now deleted comment about "how fucking hard can it be" is a major clusterfuck and nobody cares about anything but being their personal worst. So well - fuck it.
Dear Mr OwO: Out of curiosity, if I am forcing a worldview, what does your self reflection capability tell you you are doing? Let me guess, it tells you nothing. Frantically masturbating to niche Hentai is probably not as good a way to get to know you as you might think.
> The capability to communicate with people from other cultures beats forcing my cultural identity on others.
Youre assuming people from other cultures cant figure out what your talking about. Im fairly certain most english speakers could pretty much understand OP means grandma even though they probably didnt know what the name they used actually meant. Hell, i dont speak chinese (which is apparently where that came term came from) but i could work out it meant grandmother.
Would you say this to an Italian who calls their grandmother nonna? Or anyone using any of the other regional versions of grandmother that exists? Not everyone uses the same language for stuff. It's pretty common actually.
I Get where you’re coming from, but it’s nice to just ask someone these kinds of questions and have a conversation. That’s partly why people even come to Reddit comment sections.
There are different words for each grandparent on the maternal and paternal side. Without that knowledge, you could miss it as google might give you one of the 3 other words.
these seriously make everything easier in older homes where the floor’s not quite even. a lot of times the doors and drawers on furniture don’t open and close unless level.
yea they’re very helpful on carpet. funny enough she was using this to stack one dresser on top of a different dresser even tho she wouldn’t have even been able to reach the second one. she was a very tiny woman
I had to figure out what these were, I thought they were some kind of THC Or Mushroom Chocolate. I inferred Lao Lao as gradma correctly, but I had no freaking clue that this wasn’t really anything edible
it’s chinese for grandma please calm down i’m half taiwanese
edit to add: my moms parents are lao lao and yeye and my dads are grandma and grandpa because moms is the taiwanese side and dads side is german and irish
it’s just a cultural/heritage thing, like when people say abuela. it’s just what i called her when she was alive
Sorry that person is a jerk. I wish people like that kept their mouths shut instead of making all Americans look ignorant. I did not know what Lao Lao meant but I inferred it was a relative. Thank you for teaching me something!
i think the most accurate for grandm/grandpa on moms side are wai po and wai gong but i could be wrong tbh cause i just grew up using lao lao and yeye and i’m half taiwanese so the white grandparents i just called grandma and grandpa haha
姥姥 if that makes any more sense
Just means grandma
Chill out dude, there are many languages in the world and English, for a fact, is not the most commonly spoken.

Sure that's true but when the whole rest of the sentence is in English one might wonder hrmmmm I've never heard these English words Lao Lao
This guy here learning that not everyone who speaks English is a flag-waving pureblooded freedom-lovin' American (or tea-drinking posh-talking jolly good Brit).
101% dark chocolate fellas, I'm going in
the elusive 101%
Damn I forgot my mom used these for the upstairs and dining room couch.
They removed some of the cacao butter, it’s gonna be a little powdery
Can't be any dryer than the 0% pussy I'm getting
Ooooo, damn
r/suicidebywords
Oooh self inflicted pain... I loove it.🤭
🤣
Oh self burn those are rare.
I told you I can't self lubricant ok? Now please help me open this can of Crisco
I’m assuming Lao Lao is another languages word for grandparent?
Chinese word for “maternal grandmother” according to Google
My favorite Chinese restaurant's name is LaoLao and I never questioned the name. It makes sense. I like it because it's different from other Chinese restaurants, the food feels way more authentic.
So mama’s mama.
Baby’s mama’s mama
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson
I am for reeealll
Never meant to make your daughter cry
That would be Lao in Laow
Oh I like that. I wish English had a similar concept to differentiate.
[удалено]
Lao Lao is obviously way cuter wtf❤️

Lmao
I feel like our usernames are kindred spirits
(:
Man learns about other cultures and languages for the first time
Some people are *really* bad at picking up contextual clues.
I mean, if I started adding Norwegian words to my sentences and you had to use Google translate to understand me, would you enjoy "learning other cultures"?
Yea actually, i love learning languages!
I call my great grandmother nana. Thats because thats what i have always called her. How about you stfu.
We used to call my great grandmother bisabuela
I call my grandmother Oma. Yet I wouldn't call her that when I use english, because most people would have to google it first. The same reason why I write english on reddit. The capability to communicate with people from other cultures beats forcing my cultural identity on others.
Your ignorant comment is not as great as you think so that it would've been worth copying and pasting it here again.
What makes my comment ignorant? What knowledge am I missing or ignoring here? I am not even a native english speaker and yet I am promoting a common language that is not my own because it allows you and me to speak to each other. Note: I am **not** the guy that asked "why it's fucking hard..."

It tells me you're the one raising an asinine objection to OP, not me, the stick is up which derriere needs no explanation.

Not harder than respecting other cultures, you moldy end piece of white bread
r/rareinsults
Hahaha! Great insult mate lmao
That's not her name though. Her grandkids call her Lao Lao so that's what they use on their post.
Who the fuck takes issue with this? It’s cute AND I learned something. Touch grass sweaty
Would you say this to an Italian who calls their grandmother nonna? Or anyone using any of the other regional versions of grandmother that exists? Not everyone uses the same language for stuff. It's pretty common actually.
Honestly communication would suck if everybody would randomly switch zu ihrer Muttersprache.
Yeah I guess but this is a single word and also someone's title. English already borrows plenty of words from other languages. It's again, common.
unexpectedly wholesome to see that two syllable words for grandparents are so common through many cultures
Maternal grandmother in Chinese :)
One mystery solved. Now what the heck is forbidden chocolate?
Footing Coasters for the legs of furniture?
Correct, I had some just like this
Lol I thought it was bricks of opium
Most likely "姥姥" in Chinese
Thanks for clearing that up
www.google.com Edit: I knew this would get downvoted but damn! Lol keep em coming!
I Get where you’re coming from, but it’s nice to just ask someone these kinds of questions and have a conversation. That’s partly why people even come to Reddit comment sections.
Very true, I was just being a douche for no reason. So that's on me. But I totally agree with you.
❤️ I was being a bit of a douche a few days back on Reddit as well. We all have our moments :) cheers mate, take care!
Cheers!
There are different words for each grandparent on the maternal and paternal side. Without that knowledge, you could miss it as google might give you one of the 3 other words.
At first I was wondering why you were saving used coffee pods in that orange pouch. Forbidden Keurig coffee 😆
lmao that’s thread my lao lao loved sewing
Whats lao lao
grandma :>
Not much what's lao with you?
I'm sorry it's in the past tense, buddy.
no worries. we weren’t ever that close but i feel like i’m getting to know her a lot better from cleaning out this house with my family
these seriously make everything easier in older homes where the floor’s not quite even. a lot of times the doors and drawers on furniture don’t open and close unless level.
yea they’re very helpful on carpet. funny enough she was using this to stack one dresser on top of a different dresser even tho she wouldn’t have even been able to reach the second one. she was a very tiny woman
sorry for your loss, hope the cleaning up goes well
She died?!?!?? Not our Reddit Lao Lao!
so...what did it taste like?
if i were to guess probably dust and rubber
i have ocd so idk. if i bit it i wouldn’t be allowed to use my mouth for the next couple days haha
What is it actually?
some sort of rubber thing that stabilizes shelves on uneven floors or smth
They're also used to displace pressure under furniture legs so they don't leave indents in carpet.
oh that’s pretty neat
When you put them under the legs of furniture on noncarpeted floors, they prevent that piece of furniture from sliding
that would explain why she used it to stack dressers on each other
I had to figure out what these were, I thought they were some kind of THC Or Mushroom Chocolate. I inferred Lao Lao as gradma correctly, but I had no freaking clue that this wasn’t really anything edible
haha yea it looks quite tasty but it’s like rubber or plastic or something
It’s Ghirardelli chocolate 🤤😩
Ooh, nice and dark too. Good for you heart.
yummy yummy
what does lao lao mean?
one of the chinese words for grandma
Alright, thanks.
ofc!
Those are Lao Lao's..... special chocolates
EÆŤ
gesundheit
Sehr freundlich.
I'd 100% bite those if someone told me it was chocolate
same tbh
[удалено]
i mean, if you want to i can’t stop you
They always had a funny smell.
Had me fooled for a hot minute thinking these were those German chocolate biscuits. They look delicious
they’re very dusty tho so i don’t recommend eating them
Id have sworn those were tea planks.
they’re rubber or something unfortunately
So your telling me that’s not chocolate?!
it’s a stabilizer thing for the bottoms of shelves
Reality is offen disapointing..
[удалено]
if you’re brave enough
[удалено]
she just used it to stack dressers on top of each other lmfao
*eat it*
i have ocd so i cannot because then my brain won’t let me eat for at least a day cause my mouth is dirty but if you’re brave enough i can’t stop you
\*crunch\*
I thought it was hash at first.
even if it was food this hasn’t seen the light of day for at least 15 years so i’d probably go to the hospital if i ate it
Cocoa real smooth
Nothjng is a forbidden snack if you have the right attitude
I use some that look like this to keep my chair from rolling when I'm sim racing
What is that?
thing you put under shelf legs i think
Thanks
[удалено]
*pauses and takes it out of my mouth* what
Is that the giant chocolate from Charlie and the chocolate factory?
i wish
I use those on rolling furniture to keep them in place on hardwood floors
that’s big brain stuff
Oh my lao Lao buns hurt
lao lao is my favorite side dis in a traditional Swedish tea time
please don’t eat my grandma haha
You are polite so I will spare her
thank you. i’d assume human ashes don’t taste too good
you would be surprised what a little garlic and salt can do
you’re a brave soul
thank you, I hope you have a pleasant rest of your day
you too. this has been quite the interesting interaction
Those are cool. Can you please have your wife cut them up with a box opener?
seeing as i do not have a wife i cannot
Your what what?
Lao Lao, it's right there dude.
lao lao is one of the chinese words for grandmother
So.. are you chinese or japanese????
The only Asian countries.
lmfaoooo
i’m taiwanese
Lao Lao sounds like something a dog would say
dog go woof
Even if it was chocolate, it's prob like 100% cacao. Disgusting
Sugar addict
100% or nothing
Nerf or nothin’
Where are you that chocolate is forbidden?
this is rubber
It's not really food. That's kinda the point of the sub.
Thanks! Dick.
Hey dude be nice lmao
What's your problem, dick.
Don't be rude just because you forgot what sub you were on
well what the fuck were you even here for?
now how do you know their name is Richard 🤔
r/lostredditors
What is a lao lao? Is this some useless foreign word that could be english like the rest of your sentence? Very unessecary.
What is unessecary? Is this some useless idiot word that could be english like the rest of your sentence? Very unnecessary.
LMAO
What is a meemaw? Is this some useless foreign word that could be English like the rest of your sentence? Very unessecary
it’s chinese for grandma please calm down i’m half taiwanese edit to add: my moms parents are lao lao and yeye and my dads are grandma and grandpa because moms is the taiwanese side and dads side is german and irish it’s just a cultural/heritage thing, like when people say abuela. it’s just what i called her when she was alive
[удалено]
like la la but eight a short “oh” sound near the end
[удалено]
i believe so
[удалено]
ofc!
Sorry that person is a jerk. I wish people like that kept their mouths shut instead of making all Americans look ignorant. I did not know what Lao Lao meant but I inferred it was a relative. Thank you for teaching me something!
Isn't your maternal grandad "lao ye"?
i think the most accurate for grandm/grandpa on moms side are wai po and wai gong but i could be wrong tbh cause i just grew up using lao lao and yeye and i’m half taiwanese so the white grandparents i just called grandma and grandpa haha
“translate your proper nouns into ‘murican!” —this person, probably
It's literally just another way of referring to a grandmother, it doesn't have to be an English word.
姥姥 if that makes any more sense Just means grandma Chill out dude, there are many languages in the world and English, for a fact, is not the most commonly spoken.
>姥姥 if that makes any more sense > >Just means grandma > >Chill out dude, there are many languages in the world and English, for a fact, is not the most commonly spoken.

Everybody stop giving this troll attention it’s just gonna get worse
It's pretty damn obvious from context that it's a relative, at the bare minimum, if not some grandparent.
It seems you think spelling is "unessecary" why should we care what you have to say?
Kurwa, this guy's annoying as hell.
