Alas, the alternatives offered on the sidebar are, well, a bit lacking. My favorite is "Gugou" (古狗, "Ancient Dog") but "骨骼" (Bone/Skeleton) comes a close second. |
Although the new Chinese name sounds odd, its meaning is rather beautiful. In Chinese, it also means "song for celebrating a good harvest" (quite irrelevant to the original English name?) (found in Hong Kong news)
To make the case more strange, if one try to search the name in Chinese Google, say, www.google.com.hk, nothing returns. But if search from Yahoo!, many relevant news will be found. |
I have attempted to make a translation of the flash song on http://www.chinasnippets.com/2006/04/20/google-guge-valley-song-flash-movie-translated/ It's not great but it gets the gist, I hope at least. |
"Guge": Ancient word meaning "castrated".

Hold on, does "GuGe" mean "song for celebrating a good harvest" like jyudaan said, or is it "castrated" like Support said?? |
A castrated harvest worker, maybe?
D'oh! |
We object!
Our search engine in China is most definately NOT castrated. We resent any implication that we offer a service that in any way can be thought of as being "castrated" or emasculated in any way.
