About This Design

Singapore Singlish - Bo Jio - No Invite, No Banana Button

Singapore Singlish - Bo Jio - No Invite, No Banana Button

"Bo jio" literally means "no invite", and is commonly used in Singlish (Colloquial Singaporean English) meaning "Why didn't you invite me to go". It is derived from the Hokkien (a southern Fujian Chinese dialect) pronunciation of "没招". Funnily, it has the same pronunciation in Hokkien as "没蕉", where the "蕉" means "banana". In this case, "没蕉" literally means "no banana". Therefore, this design is a pun on the words "bo jio", usually used in the context of "why never invite me go", but could also mean what has been graphically drawn - "no banana". Great as a souvenir gift from Singapore!

I love the quality and the color and the design I got to customize them to the way I like my husband and I are different and it was really nice that I could custom mama instead of mommy or mom because I like to be called mama so that was nice and then I was able to make his big sisters to buttons as well so that was really nice. I love the design it’s simple it’s cute I can’t wait to wear them on my baby shower day.
