Chinglish: Sweet and Sour Soup

Notes from the author of this video:

Please pay attention to the first and second menu, why do "f" words appear on the menu? On the first menu, the Chinese wordings should be "dry ginger water". For the first Chinese word, they should use this word- "gone", means "dry,clean,withered,dryness", but the mainland Chinese instead of using the traditional Chinese word "dry ", they used this word - "a dash has a + underneath it", meaning "interfere,weapon, war, or so" (also sounds as "gone"), the reason to use this word is, it has less strokes, faster and easier in handwriting, the traditional one has more strokes.(Most of the Chinese restaurants also use this less stroke "gone" for dry-ribs or gone chaw ngau hor - stir fry beef with broad rice noodle). Both words sound the same - but they don't mean the same and not of the same characters. There are lots of these cases... one word replaces other words that carry the same or similar sound to them,that means one word can be used in different fields but the word itself's meaning does not fit into the sentence or the phrase,only the sound fits into the word of which it replaced. Hey, you still have not tell us where is the "f" word coming from. Actually there is another word that carries the same sound,sounds as "gorn" this one is the trophy, the meanings of this word are: "ability, capable, trunk of a tree, make a living, what can I DO for you, what are you DOing", there is a saying in the northern part of china - gorn(do, "f"), nee(your), neong(mother, mama ). Now you know the answer!! Next time, if you need a hair cut and shampoo in China, the hair stylist asks you "do you want your hair to be blown "f. the" , you'll know what they mean. or when you go to a dry-clean , you can say I want to "f. the" clean my pants, Or you can order your cocktail this way - one "f. the" martini, stir not shake, or you walk into the clinic, ask your doctor for some eye-drops for your "f. the" eyes. Or in a simplified way to say - "f. the what".....the song is call "sweet and sour soup" in Mandarin.....Did the French invented French fries???? what is chop suey???
