Tai Mei

The term Tai Mei refers to a flamboyant Taiwanese female that often frequents nightclubs, bars, karaoke bars and lounges.

Music : The Tai Mei species is prone to social media pressures that define their musical tastes. Top 40 songs that play repeatedly on commercial radio and lovey dovey Chinese music that has no variation and sounds pretty much all the same are guaranteed to be the only tunes found on a Tai Mei’s ipod (which is most likely covered in some sort of visually offensive glitter) or CD collection.

Visual (appearance) : The Tai Mei hoochie mama maintains at all costs (including health, meals, friendships, and monetary responsibility) a skinny, anorexic-looking, slender body that can only be compared to a third world famine victim. Accessories to this skeletal figure include loud mixed colors and dangly jewelry that could only have been put together by a blind man.

Speech : Tai Mei speech is of their native tongue, Mandarin Chinese, although a slightly different “street hoochie” dialect has emerged with the rise of Tai Mei culture. The basic language structure is the same, only with elevated volume and pitch levels that increase with alcohol intake, and added vulgarities. As for the Tai Mei attempt at speaking English, many do not speak the limited English they know willingly, as they often hate American culture and language, which brings about the question why they reside in the States in the first place.

Skanky Ho's of Taiwanese origin

This song/video is a song (awkward) dance of well-known traffic star Cai Xukun in the male group talent show "Idol Trainee" in the early years.

In January 2019, Cai XuKun was appointed as an ambassador for the NBA Chinese New Year celebration, and many netizens took a mocking attitude towards the matter, and this video of his talent performance in "Idol Practice" was dug up. In the video, his basic ball skills, brilliant (unbelievable) movements and vivid (ghostly) expressions are impressive.

In the song and dance that followed the basketball performance, the first line of the song "just because you are too beautiful" was pronounced as "chicken you are too beautiful" due to the southern accent and fast speech speed 2. Combined with the basketball street dance in the opening scene, the empty ears of this line add a lot of comedy to the video.

The video was a hit on the Internet, and a large number of netizens spoofed Cai XuKun with ghost animals and expression packs. Many things related to "chicken" were also criticized, for example, the character Tadokyu Wabiki, who made his debut in the new Oriental novel "Oriental Ghosts", which will be released in mid-2019, was not spared.

In addition to the basketball clip of Cai XuKun being ghosted, an interview of Cai XuKun in "Idol Trainee" (what are you doing ~ haha ~ ouch ~)3 also left a deep impression on the audience.
