Kung-fu terminology/concepts revealed
Thought it would be a good time to boost the moods a bit and create something creative.Namely a joke thread on CMA terminology for all serious students of chinese (ahem,like myself) and related martial arts. 
The emphasis on often possibly neglected linguistical details and their complexity.
Tai qi quan--"rather slow fist"
wuxing ("five elements")--"dirty sex".
Qi-gong--"unusual confession".
San shou--"shadow master".
Xing-yi--"raw meat disease (infectious)
Wushu--"dirty rat","error expectional","nothing careless".
These for now,share yours.
(Note:translations are based on mandarin)
