So What Is “AHBODAN?”
The display name on my MSN massenger is ”Ahbodan.” and many people have wondered what is it or rather what does it mean? Well all i know is that one day someone gave me the nickname “Ahbodan” and I kinda like it. And since then it got stuck with me. I must say it sounds a bit Hebrew or rather Jewish. Actually it’s a local slang, make up of a Hokkien, our local Chinese dialect and English word. “Ah Bo” in Hokkien simply means “So What” or ” So How” and “Dan” is a sound like “Then.” So if you put the words together it means “Then, so what?” or “Then, so how? or “Then what?” or “Then how?” Got it? It’s very Manglish or Singlish! And how is it connected to me? Well, my name is Daniel and some people call me “Dan.” So that’s the connection - “AhboDan?”
Haha.. This is good.
Sounds like Abandon too. Haha!!!
