"疊", or beat, in this case, also sounds like the word for dripping liquids. Thus, "Big Khan beating Khan Jr." sounds like "Big drips and small drips of sweat. A play on words, often used colloqiually to describe a situation or event that causes one to sweat profusely. http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%AD%87%E5%BE%8C%E8%AA%9E Editor: 蒙古皇打仔 returns ~ 400 verb. hits. Wp also lists 铁木真打仔 as its alternative form, which is apparently Cantonese and appears on the 广州话歇后语 list: http://www.360doc.com/content/09/0716/15/178559_4295024.shtml. |
