Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as “geilivable” might find a new regulation very “ungeilivable”. The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language.

“Geilivable”, combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the English suffix (后缀) for adjectives, literally means “giving power” or “cool”. Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. “Hengeilivable” means “very cool”, and “ungeilivable” means “dull, not cool at all”.

Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. One example is “antizen”, which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants.

David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it’s very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. “English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” Tool said.

At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern.

“The administration is totally ‘ungeilivable’,” said a netizen named laoda1713. “I know other netizens will shed tears with me... it is a good chance to enrich our language”.

“Language is always developing,” said a columnist, Wang Pei. “It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom.”

But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My  36   Tony,had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His 37  had no reason to be thankful to me either,because the year before, I had   38  their dear son with a pot of paste(浆糊) and some funny pictures. Instead of   39   them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year,   40 , I decided to let him  41  for himself.
We went into a big shop,but Tony was very particular about   42  . Although I tried to show him toy after toy,he was not to be   43 . Then I saw he suddenly became  44 ; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin dram. I was quite happy too   45    I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any    46   for weeks! I led Tony away   47 , saying that the dram was too expensive.
Tony asked for permission to go off    48    and I made the most of my chance to sit down end    49   my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get   50   and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked    51   her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many   52
in grey suits. I was just going to call the police for help,when I saw a strange   53  dressed in strange orange clothes. He was wearing a false beard and had a caveman’s axe(斧子)in one hand,and a space gun in the other. It was, of course,Tony, who informed me  54   that he was the first   55  to fly into space.
