Chinese Word of the Day


- Que1 - Lack, Scarce

缺乏 - Que1 Fa2 - Lack Exhaust — Shortage

I just saw an ad from the local furtiture guy on tv talking about how he’s keeping his prices low… despite the FOAM SHORTAGE. I immediately yelled “THERE’S NO FOAM SHORTAGE!! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!!!!!!” Then I went to the internet… guess what… foam shortage! “The recent hurricanes in the Gulf Coast caused extensive damage to petrochemical processing facilities which have resulted in a temporary foam shortage that is affecting North America furniture and mattress manufacturers.” Somehow it was such an issue that there is even a website dedicated to the issue: foamallocation.com.

You and a certain Mrs M are on the same wave length. She was explaining the ad and the shortage to me last night. What’s going on?….
