Oh Shiet! That's tight Calesta! No worries, hopefully I won't get deployed, if I do, i'll keep my eyes peeled for RPGs and buildings with metal tubes poking out the windows.
 
Can one translate into : "Those avatars are the equivalent of bukkake"? (yes, I know bukkake is japanese)
 
I really don't know how to translate "bukkake".... it's already bastardized to mean something in English that it doesn't really mean in Japanese, so adding another translation to it would make things really screwy.

is it something to the effect of 'fifty guys jizz on some skank's face' ?

That's what it means to Americans. I think the sexual meaning of "bukkake" is warped from another Japanese phrase. I saw an article about it somewhere, but that was a while ago and I don't remember it too well.

So you can't make

Weak Sauce?..

I can make "weak" for sure, but I would have to find some similar slang to "sauce". I don't know it. I didn't learn any contemporary Chinese slang. :)

Damn, I don't think that would fit in an avatar-sized graphic!

I'm serious. :D

I was too! Here you go. "Suck" doesn't translate nicely, but the equivalent to saying that in Chinese would be to say "are dog shit". Same as "bullshit" but with wider application.

"These graphics are all dog shit".

There you go man. Shit colored yellow/brown too. :p

maybe "magnificent bastard" :lol:

Well I got "antihero". I don't know about magnificent bastard. I don't know how to translate "bastard". I'd probably have to say "illegitimate son" or some crap like that which would break out to a long phrase which I wouldn't want to squeeze into an avatar size animation. :p
