Etymology

[edit]

Quoted from an interview with a Hong Kong journalist (the term 圖樣圖森破图样图森破 (túyàngtúsēnpò) is also derived from the same interview):
抱歉今天作為一個長者你們 [MSC, trad.]
抱歉今天作为一个长者你们 [MSC, simp.]
Wǒ hěn bàoqiàn, wǒ jīntiān shì zuòwèi yīge zhǎngzhě gēn nǐmen jiǎng. [Pinyin]
I'm very sorry. Today I am speaking to you as an elder.
