Bird Anus
来自China Digital Space
禽肛 (qíngāng): bird anus
This is an unfortunate homonym of the name of the Foreign Ministry Spokesman, "Qin Gang" (秦刚). As explained by a netizen here, Qin Gang is called “bird anus” because:
The anus is where one farts and shits. In other words, if the bird wants to fart, the anus must let the fart pass; the anus cannot decide what kind of fart to fart. That is why he is called “bird anus.” (In Chinese “to fart” can also mean “to speak nonsense.”) 肛门就是放屁,拉屎的地方。总的来说,禽兽要放什么屁,肛门就得放;而肛门自己是无法决定要放什么屁的,所以被称为禽肛。
Sometimes a further play on words is used with Qin Gang’s name: “the bird anus is inflamed” (禽肛发炎) sounds the same as “Qin Gang made a statement” (秦刚发言).
Some memorable quotations from Qin Gang (秦刚) are here.
