Chiaboo

Someone who is obsessed with Chinese culture and believe they should have been born in China.
Wears Hello Kitty Backpack. Drinks bubble tea daily. Greets people with 'nǐ hǎo' instead of hello. Thinks adding 'aiya' or 'xie xie' into English sentences makes them bilingual. Has a Chinese Symbol tattoo that translates to "Egg Sandwich." Owns at least three lucky cats and a paper fan collection. Excited for the Year of the Insert animal name. Watches C-dramas but skips the subtitles because 'they’re basically fluent now'. Thinks pandas are a personality trait. Will correct your pronunciation of 'bao' and 'feng shui' mid-sentence.
"Susan has gone full Chiaboo."
