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."
@liztai China’s state media said that it’s not the same thing though:

@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"
