iirc, this is also where the phrase "the bee's knees" comes from, bc it mimics how Italian immigrants would pronounce "the business"

I’m Taiwanese American and when I put together that “long time no see” was a direct translation from Mandarin, I bragged about it in an English paper bc we had more efficient language
