Saw a video where a YouTuber was talking about Black Myth Wukong, and he's proclaiming: "This is not a dragon. This is a 'long'."

I've got news for you, buddy
龙 lóng = dragon

@liztai "What happened with you and that dragon?"

"Well... it's kind of a lóng story."

@liztai "Bro, stop calling yourself 'Chinese Dragon' - I've seen you shower, there's no *long* there."

@rakyat they should change the dictionary definition to "we just call it dragon cos explaining the differences with a Western dragon will take too long" 😆

@liztai @rakyat Interestingly, in Malay/Indonesian, dragon is "naga" but "naga" is a different thing in India 🤔

@liztai @rakyat I am expecting stern lectures from Indian ppl anyday now.

@gombang To be fair Asian naga/loong/dragons are all pretty snake-like
@liztai

@irfan I just looked it up and the dragon has wings so it’s an American dragon, yes
@liztai

@rakyat wait wait I didn't know we had American dragons @irfan
