"As I've mentioned before, Chinese feel that they have every right to
experiment with English, make up their own English words, and compose
their own locutions which have never before existed in the
English-speaking world.  In recent years, they have become ever more
playful and emboldened to create new English terms that they gloss or
define in Chinese."
