Bingley Inked OR

…’A Walk on the Wild Side Runs Amok’. His henna tattoo looks like it says: “???” (pronounced roughly “tou bao dz”). Thank God for John, who translates it to:

a pork bun made out of dirt

Sweet Jesus. That would have been tragic.

   Might as well be his name, since “dz” doesn’t rhyme with jack unless you’re Snoop Dogg (which hardly makes it comprehensible, less mind ‘English’).

   (Um, ths, don’t tell your little bro, but we paid the guy to say it was henna when it was actually permanent, though he promised us the characters meant “pig shit.”)

   That may be the idiomatic meaning of “Pork bun made out of dirt.” That’s part of the fun of literally translating slang into and out of foreign tongues.
