Did you know?
- The character 屎 can sometimes be used in names of certain traditional herbal medicines in quite old, non-vulgar contexts, though this is rare today.
- If you say this phrase too loudly in a public place in China, it is seen as a significant loss of 'face' for the speaker, not just the target.
- Chinese has many 'eating' metaphors for negative experiences, such as 吃亏, which means to be cheated or to suffer a loss, showing a cultural pattern of 'consuming' misfortune.
