Address to women using 小姐 in Northen part of China @DenisKucherov The basic meaning is the same. I don't know where the hooker meaning come from. And the hooker meaning is still slang, in my opinion. |

Address to women using 小姐 in Northen part of China I cannot say for anywhere in China. I live in the Beijing area. And in call others, I mean using sentences like "小姐!" to get others attention. |

When is it appropriate to address a lady as 先生？ It is not completed replaced. I often hear seniors (male or female) be called 先生 in the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. |

Difference between 生前 and 死前 The last sentence is wrong. When you use 死前 for somebody, he is most probably dead. For 生后, I can now only get only one use for it, which is for a mother just given birth to her child, can you give more examples? |

How did 外国人 become 老外? @halfelf This time, the wikipedia page should not be trusted as always. It made many linguist statements without any reference, and not consistent with my impression of the language (as a native speaker). IMO, the statement of Laowai can be literally translated to "always" "foreigner" is WRONG. And Laowai can be used to refer to foreigner other than caucasians, just as in Billy Chan's Answer. |
