粉丝 Fans
The Chinese word “粉丝”, originally referring to a kind of noodle-shaped food made from mung bean’s starch, is now endowed with a new meaning, i.e. crazy fans of stars and celebrities. Actually, this word is transliterated from the English word “fans”. What’s more, this transliteration adopts a commonly-used Chinese word to achieve a humorous effect. Similar examples include such words as “Cfans” (computer fans) which is transliterated into “稀饭 (xīfàn)” – “porridge” in Chinese.
