Haizi掉水裡了!~~[edit]

There was a common joke in Wuhan (and apparently in other places as well) that played on the dialect homophone of 鞋子 and 孩子 and went something like this: "救命呀救命呀,我的孩子(鞋子)掉水里去了" 开心十分:救命呀救命呀,我的孩子(鞋子)掉水里去了. Maybe it was just a meme that spread across China, but it was represented to me as "Wuhan hua". Maybe the homophone works in Wuhan dialects too. I would try to incorporate this dialect info into zh-pron, but I don't have enough precise information to make the edit, only a clue. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:31, 21 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
