About This Design

Singapore Singlish - Bo Jio - No Invite, No Banana Throw Pillow

Singapore Singlish - Bo Jio - No Invite, No Banana Throw Pillow

"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!

This pillow was produced quickly and shipped right on time !. Great quality pillow, we purchased the Grade A Cotton version. Looking foward to displaying this pillow for years to come. The colors were exactly as displayed online, vibrant and crisp

Love the fabric and the vibrant colours. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the pillows were slightly smaller than 41 x 41 cm. I was disappointed with that. The printing turned out excellent!
