Media / Multimedia / het is simpelweg de titel van een blog van een achttienjarige student
English term or phrase: poon life
http://poonlife1789.blogspot.com/2008/03/bored-out-of-my-min...

wat bedoelt hij met de poon? real life of heeft het eerder iets te maken met zijn achtergrond (half chinees, half blank)?

poon life = real life?

Groetjes en alvast bedankt voor de reacties

Dutch translation:= chinese familienaam
Explanation:
hij noemt zichzelf "poon" en zijn e-mailadres is iets met "poonster", dat lijkt ook in die richting te wijzen...

Poon life
last name


Language variant: family name

Explanation:
He's half Chinese and half Caucasian (White). "Poon" is a Chinese last name and "Poon Life" is the title of his blog. His AOL address also contains "Poon" so it seems like he likes to include his last name in everything. HTH.

Explanation:
Hij kan heel vlot overweg met het Engels, dus hij kent de betekenis van het woord wel en zoekt de ambiguïteit. Aan u de eer om te vertalen :-).

Een tweede argument: Hoe zou jij de marketing van je blog aanpakken, als 18-jarige. Met je familienaam? Yeah, right.

Klik op wikipedia ook eens door naar Wiktionary, rechts boven. Van Dale: idem.
