Now, sometime everyone does during CNY is auspicious greetings for the coming year. Though, literally translated into English, as some of me friends did, via SMS, they make Americanized fortune cookieism seem almost intelligible. Here’s some samples:

 
Wish you horse arrive work done
Step step high rise
Year year got fish
One road smooth wind
Heart think work done
Dragon horse sperm god

 
Now you know why Hong Kong translations of Hollywood movies are they way they are.
