He knows what it means as you inadvertently let the cat out of the bag with your dead accurate meaning of huomian shifu. You obviously know your Chinese.

Corr blimey dough kneading master, methinks turnoi doth protest too much, and that ye have scarred him for life.

2+ years and he can't let this "da fei ji" wanker fellow go? Any other educated man would have moved on for good, but no, 2 years more and a good while later, and he is still banging on about this fellow. What did he do? Hack his paypal and drain his credit cards? Steal turnois girlfriend in China? run out of a restaurant and leave turnoi with a bill of 10,000 for expensive dishes and bottles of XO? One has to wonder, for a professor he certainly likes schoolboy arguments in the schoolyard, most of us left that behind at school at 13/14....turnoi still likes to smash conkers virtually online in his 60s, he must be lonely as a pelican flying solo, strewth mate, reading his posts makes me want to open a few cold Victoria bitters mate and listen to some men at work, he has ruined another antipodeans life, but he ain't going to ruin mine mate!!!

Good post shifu!!

You don't need me to tell you that you are entirely right; you certainly know your Chinese; and with that knowledge, it couldn't have meant anything else. Thank you.

Huomian in Pinyin could mean several things; if I see the Chinese characters, I could say for sure what it means. There is no need to disambiguate shifu in Pinyin. Huomian certainly does not mean deception. But since you must be the same person that is also behind The Wanker from degreedicussion.com, and since you are good at telling lies and have popped up on here under many aliases before, I will call you Master of Deception.

Relying on Pinyin to communicate in Chinese is a silly thing to do, and only the uneducated folks pretending to be "qualified teachers of Chinese" do.
The linguistic reason for this is that there are too many homophones in Mandarin Chinese, even in case of dysyllabic words that could only be disambiguated if Chinese characters were used!

What is the meaning of the Chinese term below?

王八蛋

If you can provide the proper translation and the proper Pinyin transcription, it may appear that you have passed the first elementary language test in Chinese!....LOL

Bit rude to translate that word friend. But I will provide an answer being sensible. So as not to confuse you further I will switch to Chinese proper.

说实话,Huomian这个词,如果你中文特别好的话,你一读就知道这个是什么意思 。在汉语里,Huomian这个词的意思不多。而且后面还有shifu这个词。

我是不会翻译你说的这个的,太粗暴了。有修养的人是不会说这个的。会汉语的人,并不是说你会几句骂人的话,就说明你汉语好的。你这也太小儿科了!!!
