Maybe it means "Cat-free egg rolls".
or "Hairless poodle on a stick".

Can they tell you what the name or the characters are ?

Seung, it's not even worth getting offended at stuff like that anymore. Maybe when we were younger and were the extreme minority, but nowadays, any bad thing you hear one group say, you'll hear the other side saying something worse. I brush most of it off now that I'm older, but only take offense if it's a personal attack.

I just spoke to Grasshopper. He'll take a look when he gets back in from the field this afternoon or evening and translate an explanation if possible. I did some checking and the second character definitely resembles use in "food". I gave him a verbal description of the characters and he said it may be two characters that are regularly used, essentially meaning "Chinese American family food / wine".

This is what I am told:

It's read Jing3 yang2 in Mandarin. Keiyou in Japanese.

The first character means scenery; the second means sun. Together, my best guess would be bright sun, although I know of other words for that...


ADDED:
looking at the translations, I don't see the similarity.

I just sent it over to my guy and he said the first character is "environment" and second is "sunny".

Sunny environment

Which reinforces Jim's source.

Be very careful about making that assumption with Asian characters. You will be wrong every time. Alone they have a name together they have an entirely different meaning.

For example. My name has characters in it that stand for gold, and earth. Together they take on a whole new pronunciation.

Check with a native speaker for an exact translation is a good course.

I appreciate all the help . . . I will attempt to contact the creator to get the exact interpretation !
