<<i></i>Daniel> Oh. Question.
<<i></i>Daniel> What do you call a citizen of Hong Kong?
<<i></i>Daniel> A Hong Kongian?
<<i></i>Daniel> :(
<<i></i>Timothy> phone.
<<i></i>FlyingMullet> oppresed
<<i></i>Farah> Sounds like King Kong :p
<<i></i>Daniel> A phone? o_o
<<i></i>Kane> Hong Kong belongs to China, now. :O
<<i></i>Timothy> Yes, phone.
<<i></i>FlyingMullet> well since 1999 they're Chinese
<<i></i>Daniel> That's an odd name for a Hong Kong citizen.
<<i></i>Del_Snizz> Nothing belongs to China.
<<i></i>Daniel> Yeah, but that doesn't change what you call the people from there.
<<i></i>Daniel> I'm an Aucklander. Just because Auckland is part of NZ doesn't mean I don't come from Auckland.
<<i></i>Daniel> But what do you call someone from Hong Kong?
<<i></i>FlyingMullet> how about a Hong Konger?
<<i></i>Daniel> This is a very important question.
<<i></i>Timothy> Hong Kongese?

Hong Kongese.

Pfft.
They are chinese, but I heard they keep the same government system that they had under us for about another 25/30 years.

I take credit for the "Hong Kongese" suggestion. However, ignore the part about the phone. I was paying no attention to the conversation, and indeed, I had a phone call.

Why would you take credit for that?

Person from Hong Kong = Chinese

"Hey you!" (in Chinese) also works, or you could just ask their name.

We all know you were wanting to call them "phones".
