bowl in a china shop

The re-interpretation or misinterpretation of an expression.
ie. 1 (from the movie “The Graduate”)
Mr. Robinson: “Don't you think your plan is kind-of half-baked, son?”
Ben: “Oh no sir. It's all the way baked.”

ie. 2
The conversation about our big, clumsy uncle came to a halt when she asked in exasperation, "What's so strange about a bowl in a china shop!?"

ie. 3
Teacher: “All right class, the last thing I want to get to is...”
Class clown: “Yeah. That's the last thing we want to get to, too.”

Well that was a bowl in a china shop! I guess he'd never heard that green can mean 'sick' as well as 'jealous'.

China communist party

The stupid f**king government who doesn’t provide freedom to the people in china. They also don’t care about the Chinese people who died in yesterday’s fire attack inside the building and this stupid government are very very hopeless. Fuck the communist countries too.
Me watching the news about yesterday’s china protests be like : “ Wtf… The stupid government didn’t want to remove the zero Covid policy even though the citizens in china haven’t got Covid. This China communist party thought that most people in china still got Covid and still want to put more Covid restrictions to 100 days. I’m not going to trust the stupid f**king communist countries ever again .”
