Original Message: Interesting - I thought it was just a bad Anglicization

There was a discussion on the Asian Art Forum about mystifying characters painted on the underside of a table, which turned out to be not Mandarin, but Cantonese for something like "pay attention to the wobbly legs."
I added a correction to the blog post about the Cantonese pronunciation. Thanks!
