It was a pleasant weekend of not doing much. Saturday, I had some time to browse my books for more odd Chinese idioms, but so far I haven't really found any to top these two colloquial Cantonese examples:
燉佢冬菇 (lit. "stew his mushrooms") "demote him"
炒佢魷魚 (lit. "stir-fry his squid") "fire him"

好啊! I wonder if 雞鴨 ji1ya1 could possible be a euphemism for 雞巴 ji1ba1 "penis".
