My SEO -- Generation Gap

by loqojo on 2008-12-27 17:09:04

I've been using Google Alerts to keep up with the latest information on the keyword "SEO".

On December 21, I received an SEO-related alert for an article (repost) titled "Authentic Dialogue of 90s Generation in Guangzhou - World's Morality is Declining!" What?? ⊙﹏⊙b sweat...

Upon opening the link, the word "SEO" appeared twice in the entire article:

“I went to Bonbon last night... drank so seo wing... then went to open a room with some guy..."

"Shouldn't you be this seo young not smoking, drinking, and hanging out?"

...Totally absurd...

I believe many people might be as confused as I am about what this "SEO" represents.

To be honest, I've been listening to Cantonese for over 20 years, and I still have no idea what it means...

With no other options, I had to ask my cousin in Guangzhou...

She replied with a single character: “閪” ... and suddenly everything made sense.

This character can be typed using full pinyin input method by typing "seo".
