    Fun fact:

    The word “boba” came from the Chinese word for “large breasts”.

    The boys were probably asking for those.

        Context matters.

        The “boba” in this post refers to the bubble tea drink, which originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s, and became popular worldwide eventually.

        In bubble tea, the tapicoca balls were called 波霸 in Chinese, which is a slang term for “large breasts.”

        Please let me know how that is misinformation. Or how the Vietnamese word got used in a Taiwanese drink.

        You can do some fact checking and educate yourself:

            In Canada we named one “squaw’s tit” and that was somehow okay until like two years ago.

              Sadly, there’s some places in the U.S. with that word in their name too. As far as the other one goes, here in Indiana, we have the town of Floyds Knobs.

            I think it was a reasonable response to someone wrongfully accusing me of spreading misinformation.

            They could have said that my statement was incorrect/inaccurate. But they straight said I was spreading misinformation, as if I did it intentionally.

        It is true, but it also goes a little deeper than that. In the 1980s, Amy Yip, a Hong-Kong sexy actress, was extremely popular in Taiwan along with her nickname “波霸” (boba, or “the biggest balls” in Cantonese). Around the same time, people started to put tapioca pearls in drinks, and called the bigger tapioca pearls “boba.”

        In recent years, people do consider it’s improper to use such a term and has been slowly moving to more SFW words as “大/小珍珠” (big/small pearls) in Taiwan, but “boba” has stuck too deep in the English speaking world.

      Woman thought car full of guys was going to say something lewd and juvenile.

      Turned out they just wanted to know where she got the bubble tea she was drinking.

      The guys had been arguing about where it was. The guy who spoke to her was right, Jared was wrong.

      By conclusion, you mean the more likely scenario. I feel any guy that would call her out would be doing it knowing full well how guys act sometimes…most of the time if we are in groups.

      Well as long as she keeps it in her head I don’t see the issue. Everyone has prejudices, the important thing is not to act with them as basis.
