18 generations

Any significance in the number? Being China there has to be, right?

Now, I like the one aboout ancestors. That is the kind of insult I always thought the Chinese used. Colourful ones. Paddy, old chum, give us the tones for the pinyin, eh?

I still like the one 'Dumb as a wooden chicken' as an insult.  Not exactly profanity but dang insulting.

Wang ba is actually a slang term for turtle. wang ba dan means "turtle egg", and the implication is that you are lower that dirt. Wangba duzi means "turtle tomach, which has a similar implication.

18 generations

I was curious, so I asked my husband about this one. We were talking about how, back in dynastic times, if the emperor had it out for someone he'd kill their 九祖,nine ancestors (not actually 9 generations, its something like to do with killing how many relatives on the female side vs. the male side, and how many generations back, although neither of us are actually sure how the calculation works out to 9). So I asked if the 18 was similar, but he claims no, 18 just "sounds like a lot" and has no real symbolic significance other than making for a nice, strong, curse word.
