English
Dog dropping (slang)
Chinese
地雷
Pinyin
dì léi
Literal meaning:
Soil Thunder
Is this phrase useful? Well.. if you happen to see a dog dropping on the sidewalk, you can tell you Chinese friend "Look out! A dog dropping!" and I'm sure your Chinese friend will pay you a sincere smile, perhaps even a laugh.
Actually, the word 地雷 (dìléi) doesn't mean dog dropping. It means "landmine", but is used in slang for dog dropping. The similarity is striking though, you wouldn't want to step in any of them, would you?
