Today, Teacher Becky introduces some Chinese phrases for some of those "unpleasant" bodily fluids and happenings, such as bad breath, dandruff and drool! Ew, right?

眼屎 (yǎnshǐ) = eye gunk (when you wake up in the morning)
耳屎 (Ěrshǐ) = ear wax
鼻屎 (bí shǐ) = booger
鼻涕 (bítì) = snot
口水 (kǒushuǐ) = drool, slobber
流口水 (liú kǒushuǐ) = to make someone's mouth water
头皮屑 (tóupí xiè) = dandruff

It's not the most "pleasant" of lessons, but it's useful to every one of us (whether we admit it or not!).
