七8九!
[chinese] do you ever think about 混沌 vs 馄饨
⛅Jade⛅
yes
⛅Jade⛅
by which i mean, no i have no idea what that says BUT IM CURIOUS what is the difference?? they look alike !
七8九!
the first (hundun) means Primal Chaos, or the formless mass that existed before all of creation! super mysterious!
七8九!
the other (huntun) means wontons, which is funny because i always pronounced it hundun...maybe that's another nanjing dialect thing
⛅Jade⛅
aaaaah THAT. YAH THAT"S like waaaaay too different things. really interesting tho
⛅Jade⛅
d'you think people get the two confused often, when people say it? like... i imagine it could be used for a set up for puns or something
七8九!
eat the chaos 
⛅Jade⛅
nomnomnomnom
七8九!
honestly you're far more likely to hear the second than the first at any time in your life because who ever talks about chinese mythology after communism banned fantasy
七8九!
but i'd totally pun this if my relatives were capable of understanding puns
⛅Jade⛅
puns are the best tho, that's a big shame :C
七8九!
theoretically i could make a joke on weibo, but nobody follows me on there....punning into the void
⛅Jade⛅
someone should open an restaurant "hundun huntun" ..... "primordial chaos wontons"
七8九!
puns are beautiful and perfect and really my aunts are missing out
七8九!
oooh that's a good one
⛅Jade⛅
and they can just sell a variety of wontons, i bet it would be yummy
⛅Jade⛅
tastes like chaos, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS
七8九!
you could use food coloring to make your wontons look like True Chaos
七8九!
dessert wontons
⛅Jade⛅
what does true chaos look like, the contents of my stomach after eating all of those wontons
七8九!
this is a wanton massacre of the ancient tradition of wontons
七8九!
i don't even like wontons all that much but i'd eat chaos wontons for sure

how could they not appreciate puns!?
七8九!
i once spent like ten minutes trying to explain to mama what a pun even was? it was tough

...I thought all Chinese people liked puns. it's coded into our language!! or is that only people from HK?

we have a foot massage parlour nearby called 知足
七8九!

queen (temp.)
