篇名: 2006/10/23的日記
作者: wayne 日期: 2006.10.23  天氣:  心情:

friends told me the expression "wa sai" is out of circulation in taiwan and the in expression for young people nowadays is "wo kau", or simply "kau"...they're getting lazier for sure

but i still occasionally hear people say "wa sai", tho' much less often than before

new expressions come and most would go later. a typical example was "菜" as an adjective, in the 70s and 80s

that's the case in english as well. "gay" has picked on a different meaning. "right on" was as popular in US in 70s as "wa sai" was in taiwan. nobody say "swell" anymore. young people say "cool" instead

same is true for idioms. some are very rarely used nowadays, like "it real sticks to the ribs", meaning having had a very full meal. some are totally out, like "tickling the ivories", meaning playing piano

those that stay become part of the everyday language. i'd guess "帥", "屌", "賊" are such cases
