Am I verbose?
Logees told me he was born in Malacca, the place where Chinese Mariner Zheng He first landed Malaysia in the 15th Century.
"So there are lots of descendants of Zheng in Malay." Logees claimed.
"That can NOT be true, cause he couldn'e have any children." I tried to correct him and then found it even more difficult to explain.
"In ancient China the emperor hired certain males to serve him and his wives. They had to take some special surgeries in order to keep them from having any affiar with the emperor's wives. And He was one of them." I did my best to give such a long explaination.
"He was chopped?" It took a while for Logees.
Now I found myself verbose.

enuch explains everything.
Xixi... I know about this word because of a mistake my friend made. During a dinner party, my friend tried to flatter one other friend, who's an american boy, by "***, you are unique!". But he put the accent on "u", not "n". The american boy hesitated for a while, suddendly shout out "you mean 'unique'"! (of course, he put the accent on "n").
Seeing all of us confused, he explained to us:"'eunuch' (putting the accent on 'u') is a man who got his penis cut". At the same time, he looked down..... ( though I still don't understand why he looked down to himself by explaining 'eunuch'.)
Since then, all the other guys call the chinese friend "eunuch". They are so un-houdao.
