you can look up Augustine Fong's website...there is a fairly large dictionary of Cantonese wing chun terms. Some of these terms are common to other wing chun lines--the basic terms. Many others are line
specific. Many teachers traditionally corrected the motions rather than teach the nomenclature. I am a middle of the roader- perhaps a rationalization- I dont use every one of the terms for all motions- but I think that knowing enough of them helps with communication within and outside of one's lineage.

Mm Yan Chi Dai---The Cantonese expression Mm Yan Chi Dai, translates to "Misleading other people's children." The idiom is a reference to those teachers who claim an expertise in an art that they do not have and waste the time and treasure of others.
