Based on what catburger says next in that thread, I think SirStan said something in between the first and second comments by nj_subgenius, to which the second comment was responding. This thread is perhaps supposed to point out that the response seems incoherent now that the prompting comment is gone?

Also, I agree with both the sentiment that Christmas makes people fucking nuts and that this is the stupidest MeTa of the day. The worst part is that it may not be the stupidest one of the month (or even week). Not only posting a callout about a comment you yourself made (it appears), but doing so within 8 minutes of posting the comment in the first place? Scraping the depths of the sea of pointlessness a bit, aren't we?

I can't help but wondering if nj_subgenius (what's the neologism here? eponyrisible? nomilarious?) posted the thread, then suddenly realized the silly thing he'd done, and ran away in a panic waving his hands in the air with his hair on fire, going 'woocha woocha woocha! administrator please hope me! woocha woocha!'
That's how I picture it, at least.

Well, bad Chinese. In actual Chinese, you'd need a classifier (or "measure word") between the number and the noun, in this case bei: "woo-bei cha."

In actual actual Chinese you'd waive your hand so that the waitress notices you and then when she comes over you'd sort of draw her attention to the fact that the pot lid is tilted indicating that it needs to be refilled.

Yes, it's customary to remove your hand in order for the waitress to know that you desire 5 cups. For four you remove your left shoe. Three simply requires you place a small carp in your left pant leg.
