Drink Win
吹水 (chui sui), v. Cantonese slang. To chat, bullshit.
“Cheers!”
In Chinese sing is a homophone for “saint,” which was a euphemism for “alcohol” during prohibition in ancient China.
The Putonghua phrase gan bei (乾杯), “drink your cup dry,” is avoided because “dry” has connotations of poverty.
