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.

minus-squareCloudless@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year agoI 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.
