We all know by now that blue is not exactly a positive colour in Asia. Well, I learnt the other day that calling someone a bluebird is tantamount to calling them a ****. Is it any wonder they want to get rid of it. And in my view... they will. discuss.
 
No it doesn't. As the post's title makes clear, it means that it's a terrible insult. Whether it means **** **** or **** mens ****all, frankly.
 
Where did you hear that Glam? I know a Malaysian guy and he didn't think being called a bluebird was an insult?
 
He was a Malaysian lad (although born here). We got talking about what was happening at City and he said that in certian parts of Malaysia it's a terrible insult. He didn't tell me what it was exactly because I had two boys with me... so I didn't exactly persue the matter. However, suffice to say that it was not how you'd address your Gran.
 
GLAM.........I may have an explanation (or a theory at least). I've been scouring the internet & it looks as though one of the largest Taxi firms in Malaysia are an Indonesian Taxi Company named BLUE BIRD TAXI'S. I delved further & apparently Malaysian Taxi drivers have a repution of being among the worst in the world safety, robbery etc. etc. & the worst reputation of all seems to lie with BLUE BIRD TAXIS. I'm almost certain that the Bluebird is not native to Malaysia, therefore the only association Malaysians have to a Bluebird are rather dodgy & dangerous Taxi drivers. Does that make sense.
...busy day at work obviously

Notice the guy sitting on the roof....would you want to be associated with this lot?
 
It was made clear that Asians think of blue as a sign or mourning.

If a male would prefer to be called a little bird than being called a dragon then that is his choice.

A bluebird has no significance in Cardiff or Wales.
