Specific to Taiwan?

edit

I always thought that this figure of speech was not specific to Taiwan, but rather applied to the whole Chinasphere. Am I in error? In any event, this is an excellent addition. -- Dschmelzer 18:10, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

That's quite possible, however since I'm from Taiwan I've only heard Taiwanese people using this term, therefore I was somewhat hesitant to attriubte it to all of the greater China region. Feel free to make any nessicary modifications. -Loren 05:19, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

This section seems to be a WP:COATRACK for global warming denial. 72.43.170.178 (talk) 22:54, 29 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Maid doesn't need to work?

edit

If the story ends with the maid not working at all, what is the point of changing to iron bowls? Presumably, they are changed to iron so they cannot be broken while she is working; if she just doesn't have to work, they don't have to be iron. WP Ludicer (talk) 03:08, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
