Addendum: Patrick Walsh comments:
I asked my Chinese friend to translate it and he started giggling. He
says that it is something that you attach to the bottom of a toilet
seat so that when someone lifts it up there is a tiny explosion that
emits a loud noise.
I kind of want one now.
Now I’m wondering what that toy really is. I mean, what could be translated as “Closetool Burnt Destructor”?
That would sure scare the 5h!t out of me.
Language Log has a post (with pictures of the box) on the origins of the term, http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1230#more-1230
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
