Why does 三八 mean gossip? @trideceth12 Question Overflow's answer is also possible if the reference is genuine, but admittedly in ancient China, many writers had the bad habit of making up references, so it's difficult to choose what to believe. |

Why does 三八 mean gossip? @trideceth12 I don't know if it's the real origin or a post-origination best guess, but yes it's the date of the international day. Because in Chinese it's officially called 三八妇女节, and 妇女 (as opposed to 女性, 女人, etc.) is sometimes used as a derogatory term for chattering/gossiping women, so this explanation makes some sense. |

馅饼 in Cantonese Thanks for the answer. Could you be explicit on whether shape is a factor or not? |

What is the etymology of 放我一马？ @StumpyJoePete I am sorry about that. As a native speaker sometimes I'm unable to locate the very spot that a language learner may have difficulty with. Specific to this question, I falsely assumed it's the misspelling in the original title that puzzled OP and what he needed was just the correct spelling. Shouldn't have made that assumption. |

馅饼 in Cantonese @JamesJiao they look just like 生煎包. Maybe both sides are cooked but the bottom is apparently pan-fried much deeper than the upper side. |
