The meaning of my signature
 

It's a old saying from Hokkien. A language not much difficulties for me because my mother tongue is a sub-dialect of that family.

Neighbors (other members from here) are our own ppl.

That's cool! I've often wondered what your signature means. You're an interesting guy.

As always, thank you for posting this interesting information. :)

An old friend from high school who I still keep in touch with thanks to Facebook is Chinese. I forwarded your signature to him months ago, but forgot that he cannot read Chinese; he only can speak it!

Reads ≠ knows the meaning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Chinese. Standard written http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Written_vernacular_Chinese is based on "barbarian" .
In "barbarian" :wtf: dictionary
厝 [cuò]
1. verb to place; to dispose
2. verb place a coffin in a temporary shelter pending burial
There's grammar difference btw 2 "languages"
Hokkien: house-side-head-tail home-oneself-man
"barbarian" : 鄰 [adjacent] 居 [house] 是 [is] 自家人 [oneself-home-man]

Classical Chinese http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Chinese is more "useful" as cross language media than [std written]. It was known by every educated in East Asia (China/ Japan/ Korea/ Vietnam)
