Help with Taiwanese slang

I've been elsewhere asking for translations and help with slang, and these are the terms I know:

Mandarin:
liu mang (gangster)
tai mei (delinquent gal)
hoon hoon (small time hooligan/punk)
tai ke (just general for undesirable Taiwanese)

Hokkien:
pai kia ("bad kid"/gangster)

Tai Mei, I was told, applies to both gangster girl and tough girl.

Tough boy can also be Tai Bao.

Cool guy = Zho Paa (Very Fashionable)
Boss Girl = Fen Li Cheung (the Mandarin name of the DNS)

Ho Ba Mu = Old Tiger Woman (not bad for Boss Girl)

Strong guy is Goo but they would also call a girl the same thing. It means Ox.

Ah-Hyea (vey nasal sounding) is Older Brother and Dwah Hyea is gangster big brother (Kingpin)

Ah-Chee is older sister. Dwah-chee for Lucy Liu in Kill Bill types.

"low mua bou" 流氓婆 (female low mua).

fighting girl- qia(4) zha(1)查 vou(4)某.

Tough Guy, according to the DNS is Goo(2). It simply means "Bull."

Nan Ren Puo is the Mandarin of Tomboy

luo mua-tough guy

lor mua = gangster

dwa jie tao ah = female gangster of sorts (literal translation is: big sister head or head big sister)

dwa eh = biggie (can refer to a gangster boss or simply your oldest brother)

Brat:小搗蛋 (siao Hun dan) ;小傢伙(siao Jia huo)

One of the Taiwanese slang for tomboy is 查甫體.

ia xiao zi (假小子) is Tombot in Mandarin.

頑童 (wan tong) literately means urchin,

書呆子. (shu dai zi) is nerd/geek.

The leader of gangster girls is called "Dua Zi Tao" in Taiwanese.

"Lam yn po" is a Taiwanese slang for "tomboy"

Here are some Taiwanese Hokkien slangs I picked up elsewhere:

person prone to fighting
相扑雞
sio1-phah4-ke1 or sio1-phah4-kue1 (lit. fighting cock)

girl prone to fighting
赤諸某
tshiah4-tsa1-boo2

tomboy
諸夫生
tsa1-poo1-senn1 or tsa1-poo1-sinn1

tough (adj.)
儼硬
giam2-nge7 or giam2-ngi7

Qia4 bai3 bai2- tough female

光棍-tough guy

Does anyone know any other Taiwanese Hokkien slangs for the terms I listed?

Hi-I meant can you please post your responses in romanized Taiwanese?

Re: Reply to newsn


I don't know how to do that because I don't have a Chinese keyboard, but you can cut and paste Chinese characters here.

Hello newsn01. I don't know if you were trying to contact me this morning-but if you were, your message was moved-I got an e-mail saying I got a new response, and when I clicked on it the link says the post either doesn't exist or was moved to a restricted area.

Can you please e-mail me? My e-mail address is [email protected].
Please respond soon. Thank you.

Hi newsn01- I got your e-mail last week. Did you get the e-mail I sent you last Saturday? Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi newsn01, Thank you for your help-I think Noddy was incorrect-he said:

I don't believe the A2K software can handle Chinese characters.

I don't think that's true, because if it was I wouldn't have been able to cut and paste the Chinese/Taiwanese text I posted.

Did you get the e-mail I just sent? Please let me know. Thank you.

Hello newsn01, thank you for your e-mail. I was ab it confused; I was asking for both Chinese and Mandarin slang translations-were those terms you e-mailed me Taiwanese terms?

Can you please help me out with a Taiwanese adjective?
