Phonetic Cursing in Mandarin Chinese!

I like those “let’s learn Chinese” in the fortune cookies, but here is a few you won’t see soon:

- Saying “Grass Mud Horse” (草泥马) is phonetically equivalent to “F**k Your Mother!” in Chinese

- The phase “Ma Le Desert” (马勒戈壁) is phonetically equivalent to “Your Mother’s C**t”
