About This Design

Singapore Singlish - Bo Jio - No Invite, No Banana Hand Fan

Singapore Singlish - Bo Jio - No Invite, No Banana Hand Fan

"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!

These fans are so well-made and high-quality! They came completely assembled, which we were not expecting, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Printing is gorgeous!

Very impressed. I was contacted about the quality of my photo. They refused to print my product until they were satisfied with the picture. They truest care about the product they produce. The printing was excellent. Colors bright, printing crisp and clear. Perfect. Very proud of product.
