Why is it called PPX anyway?

Pinyin for mantis shrimp: Pi Pi Xia.

Is this inter-species mating?

Oh god...

Did she just perform a night with her clothes on!? What the heck did she just do, indeed!

Amusingly, one of the Chinese restaurant specials you always see is "Dragon and Phoenix", which is actually shrimp and chicken...

Trilingual bonus? That's something new :3

But yeah, learning/reading Chinese is always fun for Eastern Europeans, given that "hui" syllable is everywhere and it's NOT pronounced as "hoo-ay" as cyrillic "хуэй" transcription implies :3

Rather less trilingual part than... well... I projected that "bonus" on other 8 PPX memes - that got me first.
Не столько каламбур с переводом, сколько мысленно транспонировал "перевод" на 8 предыдущих мемов "ЙаКриведко".

You're bound to get those interlingual "bonuses" if you learn language from another family. There is a lot insults or death-glare inducing wordplays even in "small talk" section between English and Russian.

Cough. China has recently launched a nationwide online poll to name its new aircraft carrier, and "Pipi Xia" has come in the first place with 1,37 million votes. It was (sadly) rejected as the official name, otherwise Russia and its neighbors would howl with laughter for years to come, because to Russian ear, PiPiXia sounds exactly like a word for "small penis" used by children.

Type-kun delivered the carrier stuff...

"Ваш кролик написал..."
If they went on and named it as was supposed to be, that would born handful of memes even without dick jokes, but within much smaller groups. "Йа Креветко" photochop contests and macroses, for example.

Unfortunate, but perhaps it and not-Boaty McBoatface can hang out together sometime.

@Type-kun Had in my thoughts the one... interesting example, but couldn't recall it at the time. Now that I recently stumbled upon it, I'll just say two words - Шинима х...ня.
