This is a question Useless Information

Did you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

Cantonese words
My girlfriend (who is Chinese) tells me that there's no direct translation in Cantonese for "make tea", apparently because most Chinese people always have tea on the go, they just add more water and more teabags as required.
The nearest you can get is roughly equivalent to "pour tea". Apparently.
