verity_kindle , to Asklemmy in What are some insults in english that will make non-native speakers have to ask someone their meaning?
@verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works avatar

"Crayon eater", this one is specific to members of the U.S. Marine Corps, it can be used affectionately, but it's very context dependent.

On a ship, a sheet is a line made of rope, used to manipulate the angle of a sail, not a sail itself.

"He don't know shit from shinola." [I've never asked what "shinola" is.]
EDIT: Another one my Dad uses (Oklahoma born and bred): calling someone a "mudcat".

No, this is incorrect. China was a bunch of kingdoms, constantly at war with each other for longer than it's ever been forcibly "united" by external forces, such as the Western powers in the 19th century, dividing up and ruthlessly controlling economic spheres of influence. It's fascinating how ethnic, religious and cultural differences have been manipulated by so many governments for so long to feed their pockets and it isn't over. The CCP is going to be nothing but a footnote in a research paper someday.
