Possesive, shrink. #1 (permalink) Fri Oct 28, 2011 5:09 am   Possesive, shrink.		  
I've had a doubt with the apostrophes lately, how should it be:

The chinese's guy bike or the chinese guy's bike

The other thing is that I was watching a TV show with english audio and spanish subtitles so I heard something like "you should see a SHRINK" but Im not sure if shrink is what he said and on the subtitles it was "psychiatrist".

1. "the chinese guy's bike" is correct.
2. A shrink is a slang word for psychiatrist, it derives from "headshinker". The use of "shrink" is very common, at least in the States.
