So I'm reading through PYF Fun Historical Fact thread when I come upon this gem,fish and chips and dip posted:.... ... .... there is a fun Portugese word "Desenrascanco" meaning to slap together a solution to a problem at the last minute, i.e. MacGyver the poo poo out of everything which I like to think is how they built their empire. Desenrascanco = Chabuduo Now I'n wondering how many cultures have one word for " Let's fix the "insurmountable problem" with a skeezy ghetto half-assed solution"

Blistex posted:During the Korean war, Mao's son was at some outpost cooking noodles in a shack when they got a warning that an air raid was coming. Orders were than everyone was to take cover in a cave-bunker when an air raid was inbound, but Mao's son pulled rank (by saying "I'm Mao's son, don't tell me what to do) and a South African A-26 napalmed his rear end. Thanks Blistex, it confirmed my suspicions. Pure Comedy, made me laugh.

Grand Fromage posted:Almost every drat day I have that fantasy. But you're just so hosed if you do it here that I've managed to mostly resist. Why not rock with their culture? Be one with the Celestials. See a doorway, beeline to it not giving a gently caress when you bowl over the pack. Why can't you just barge your way through? You're bigger (I'm guessing) than the average n o n g Face and No Why should keep you OK. We've adapted in Vancouver, this Is S.O.P. Try it, you might like it.

"The move is in line with President’s Xi Jinping’s plan to construct a social credit system based on the principle of “once untrustworthy, always restricted” Sooooooooo, if Chinar was to be held to this dictum, how long do you think it would take before they become restricted.

After reading this enjoyable melt-down, I think I got it wrong. P P L identifies as an Orc. I still think that Orcs are uncomfortable with that though.

I smiled when I read this. No, that's a lie ........ I laughed out loud. Seriously though, if all that water causes a quake that ruptures the Three Gorges dam, would this possibly be the biggest chabudou ever? Or is there even better examples of superlative Chinese Engineering out there? Past or present, i don't care. I know when they were building it there was all sorts of complaints and concerns about it, but it seemed a lot of hand waving and hurt feelings and ignoring the haters (and cracking skulls and forced migrations) made all those problems go away. 'till now.
