Chinese-English dictionaries ay "Wanpi guniang" means tomboy. But what does "xing2 wei2 si4 nan2 hai2 de5 wan2 pi2 gu1 niang2", the definiton of tomboy at pristine.net, literally translate to? Is that all one word?

Well, that could be ok, but "wanpi guniang" means "naughty girl" in Taiwan. I don't know exactly what it would mean to Chinese in China, though.

Hi. Could you list those other areas you're talking about? I'll do a web search on slang in those areas. Are there any other ways to say "tomboy" that can be listed here? Please list them in Romanized Chinese. Thank you.
nan ren po is 3 CHARACTER, but ONE TERM. It is an impossible task to list out all alngs fro mdifferent area. ONly local guys understand and those slangs are confined to that area only. it maybe understandable, but impossible to speak them out by me.

The term I mentioned was "wampi guniang-is this spelling correct? The only form of Chinese I know how to read is Pinyin, or Romanized Chinese. So when you typed "������," the first time, I did not understamd what you typed.

Okay, so "������" translates to "nan ren po". Is "nan ran po" one word or three? You commented every city has its own slang-can you please list those terms?
jia (3) xiao (3) zi (0) or (1). nan 2 ren 2 po 2 numbers indicate tone. Nan ren po is also " fake man" literally.

Can you please spell out both words "������" and "��С�ӡ�" in Romanized English?

I'm confused-does "������" and "��С�ӡ�" both transliterate to jia xiaozi? Going by the notation, I'm assuming tomboy is either "jia xiao" or "jia xiaozi"?
The pinyin is jia (3) xiao (3) zi (0) or (1). To me ������ is COntonese for tomboy. FYI=for your information.

男人婆
Explanation: 男人婆 the first two characters "男人" mean "men", the third character "婆" means "old woman". This phrase doesn't have to refer older people but it's just conventionally used in this way.

i thought i already transliterated 男人婆 into \"men-old-woman\" And this is the slang for \"Tomboy\"

Is "jia xiaozi" how you spell out "假小子。" in Pinyin? What is "FYI", and how do you pronounce that?
