New King Arrives-Clint Capela offical nickname "Cookie King"(饼皇）

Cookie king lol, cool

 

"饼" in Chinese is used for basically any food that's shaped like a circle. Cookie would be "饼干", basically a dry 饼. Lots of different types of food are called 饼s, like crepes, jianbings, tortilla wraps, etc.

Why does this matter? It doesn't, really. I am hungry though.

uh..
Go Rockets?

 

He working on those endorsement deals. Smart man

Chinese $$$$

 

I'd say Pancakes Sovereign is the most accurate translation, although it doesn't sound as good.

There are three commonly used Chinese character that has the meaning of supreme ruler, i.e., 皇(Sovereign), 帝(Emperor), 王(King).In Chinese power system, Sovereign is slightly more powerful than Emperor, and both of them are much more poweful than King. The reason why 皇(Sovereign) is used for Capela is that Joel Embiid's Chinese nickname is "The Great Emperor(大帝)", yet Embiid was caught riding a tricycle for Capela in London last summer. So what it implies is that, there can be hundreds of kings in the league, there can be several emperors in the league, but there is only one Sovereign who has the ultimate power, that is Clint Capela.

 

Are we talking about Clint "Swiss Knife" Capela?!

 

Holy cow, are the Chinese fans really this meticulous about their nicknames? Lol

 

his nickname is The Swiss Dismiss. stop trying to fight it.

 

Thank you. I learned to write Mandarin 20 yrs ago and I have not thought about that. Lmao!

 

Most of the time, we're not:

But for some of the very best ones, it can happen. Capela is a good example, another one is Danny Green, whose most popular Chinese nickname is Royal Papa. Chinese Spurs fans first started with "Release Brick Green"(meaning that every time Green releases a shot, it automatically bricks), later they found if it is expressed using different words, it happens to be the name of a famous Chinese actor, who is most known for playing the role of an emperor in a TV series, where his daughters and sons call him Royal Papa.

 

Not just shaped like a circle as there are also rectangular 饼 (bing) or amorphous shaped. My understanding is that it means any sort of flat bread so things ike saltines and graham crackers in chinese would be considered bing..

On the subject here's video I shot of Jianbing being made in Beijing. I wish I could get this where I live.

 

Great point. When I saw the characters I thought the same thing.

Anyway I really want one of those shirts.

 

Two traveler's tip for anyone getting 饼 (bing) in China. There is a huge variety of bing and many have various fillings. Just because you had one in one place doesn't mean it will have the same filling or taste the same. I had a real surprise in Chengdu having a bing that was filled with the Sichuan pepper paste 麻辣 (ma la) even though it looked identical to a bland bing with no filling in Beijing. If you have food sensitivities and allergies make sure you find out what is inside a bing before you eat it.

Also at every major tourist site in China there will be bing sellers with many making them onsite. Be sure you get the price first before you eat it. One of the scams is to give the bing first and then charge a ridiculously high amount.
