Singapore Singlish - Bo Jio - No Invite, No Banana Gunmetal Finish Lapel Pin
"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!

Small Square Lapel Pin, Gold Plated

To do again, I would order the JEB Stuart in the small round style. That is just my personal preference. Also, I like the Forrest pin with the Confederate National Flag background since he fought in the army of Tennessee. However, I would prefer the Confederate Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia as the backdrop for the Stuart lapel pin ... as you well know, Stuart commanded the cavalry arm of the Army of Northern Virginia and fought under the Southern Cross or Cross of Saint Andrew. Karl Brauneis, Lander, Wyoming. Excellent - very clear and bold. +
