| Nov 15, 2013 at 3:00 | comment | added | rabbid | @AlexSu thanks a lot for the explanation. Is 香肩美背 then commonly used as a set phrase to describe the act of showing off one's body? | |
| Nov 15, 2013 at 2:58 | comment | added | rabbid | Wow so "秀" is supposed to sound like "show"? Is that what you mean @zyc? That is very interesting :) Thanks! | |
| Nov 14, 2013 at 17:44 | comment | added | Archeosudoerus | @rabbid yeah as Alex Su said, "秀" is a borrowing word from the English word "show". There are a lot of Chinese words which was borrowed from English. "沙发" as "sofa", “香波” as "shampoo", "酷！" as "cool！“ | |
| Nov 14, 2013 at 16:29 | comment | added | arax | @rabbid your guess is right! 秀 means to show off. 香 and 美 are both commonly used when describing a woman's body. But you can't say 香背 or 美肩: these collocations are kind of fixed.. | |
| Nov 14, 2013 at 15:03 | comment | added | rabbid | Thanks, but what does 秀香肩美背 mean? My best guess is showing off her body? | |
