Top 3: My little friends and I are shocked (Chinese: 我伙呆; pinyin: wo huo dai)

The Chinese term is short for a sentence literally meaning "My little friends and I are shocked." Its actual roots lie in an article written by a pupil. The school student said his little friends and he were shocked after finding out where the Chinese rice dumpling (pinyin: zongzi) originated from. Since then, the sentence is extensively used to describe people's shock after discovering a new or hot fact.
