      From: pedt@so.manygiggl.es              There's a lot of poetic Chinese idioms called chengyu that don't       actually mean what they appear to do - one of the idioms for sex (there       are a lot of them) literally translates to "Rainclouds over Wushan".              Another, for seeing someone naked, literally translates to "Saw colour       unvarnished"              Amused me that they are anagrams :-              Saw colour unvarnished. ~ Rainclouds over Wushan.              --       Pedt              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
