creamyhorror 216 Posted August 7, 2011 at 08:46 AM Report Share One small step for abcdefg, one giant leap for civilisedness. ("Here's a warm tip comin' atcha!") Link to comment
abcdefg 5272 Posted August 7, 2011 at 12:01 PM Report Share how is that a "warm" tip? Hotels sometimes use similar wording with 温警 for notices left in guest rooms. I think it's something like "gentle warning" or "friendly reminder." Nothing harsh or stern. Link to comment

bunny87 44 Posted August 9, 2011 at 09:31 PM Report Share Hotels sometimes use similar wording with 温警 for notices left in guest rooms. I think it's something like "gentle warning" or "friendly reminder." Nothing harsh or stern. "friendly reminder" sounds nice, "warm tip" sounds hilarious. Would that mean then that a 'cold tip' is a unfriendly warning? Link to comment
Kenny同志 616 Posted August 15, 2011 at 12:29 AM Report Share what do you think of the translation " please aim carefully"? It seems good. Link to comment
jbradfor 681 Posted August 15, 2011 at 07:40 PM Report Share Yes, that would be the usual phrasing. I've also seen signs such as "We aim to please, so please aim carefully". Link to comment
Kenny同志 616 Posted August 16, 2011 at 11:32 AM Report Share Thanks for confirming Jbradfor. Link to comment
Edenborg 1 Posted February 7, 2015 at 09:53 AM Report Share its a good sign, some people really are aiming badly Link to comment
laogui 15 Posted February 15, 2017 at 11:58 AM Report Share I liked the English notice above the hand basin at a daba station somewhere in Liaoning - SOUP 肥皂 was writ in large bold letters. And another toilet notice was DANGER LANDSLIPS! 小心滑地 Link to comment
