Searle's Chinese room from Wikipedia:
In the Chinese room thought experiment, a person who understands no Chinese sits in a room into which written Chinese characters are passed. In the room there is also a book containing a complex set of rules (established ahead of time) to manipulate these characters, and pass other characters out of the room. This would be done on a rote basis, eg. "When you see character X, write character Y". The idea is that a Chinese-speaking interviewer would pass questions written in Chinese into the room, and the corresponding answers would come out of the room appearing from the outside as if there were a native Chinese speaker in the room. It is Searle's belief that such a system could indeed pass a Turing Test, yet the person who manipulated the symbols would obviously not understand Chinese any better than he did before entering the room.
To chinese room (verb) is to solve problems without understanding. Most commonly used while doing math or physics homework, chinese rooming involves combining equations from various pages to solve a problem without understanding the problem or the equations.

Get the Chinese room mug.Often used as "cheap chinese crap". Sometimes abbreviated as "cc" or "ccc". Generally refers to an article of low-quality, unlikely to last for any length of time, but sufficiently cheap to buy and use once and discard.

Get the chinese crap mug.When you stay up for too many days on methamphetamine and you start a sentence only to fall asleep in the middle of it and finish the same sentence with a completely different subject that makes no sense. You then realize as you wake up that you didn't make sense and you tried to play it off to whoever you were talking to. P.S. It never works.
"I know! I love when the pizza has dead bodies that I hid in my closet last night. " I said, pizza in hand.

Get the Fake Chinese mug.The act of taking excessive amounts of napkins/toilet paper/tissue while only using a minimal amount of it. The rest of the stack does not generally go to waste as the left over napkins/toilet paper/tissue stays on the table that was used by the person/perpetrator of said stack.
