<p>There was some HK movie that translated (read: transliterated) <code>gigolo</code> as something like <code>基哥儿龙</code>（音）.</p>

<p>I cannot find anything online with different combinations of characters for <code>ji-ger-long</code>.</p>

<p>Any ideas what the phrase was?</p>

# Gigolo translated as 基哥儿龙（音）?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-06-27)

There was some HK movie that translated (read: transliterated) `gigolo` as something like `基哥儿龙`（音）.

I cannot find anything online with different combinations of characters for `ji-ger-long`.

Any ideas what the phrase was?
