要啥自行车

    yào shá zìxíngchē

    Meaning: Literally translated as "What bicycle do you want," this sentence first appeared in a standup comedy show performed by Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei during the Spring Festival gala in 2001. In that well-received show, Zhao was trying to sell a walking stick to Fan who didn't actually need it at a hefty price. When Fan was convinced that he did need the walking stick, Zhao suggested that Fan should give Fan's bicycle to him since Fan would no longer need it. Chinese netizens rediscovered the sentence and used it jokingly to imply that someone is greedy and shameless to the extent of absurdity.

    When will you return me the 1,000 bucks you borrowed last time? Now you have the face to ask for more?
