So Wrong.
Culture-specific phrases shouldn't be directly translated! It just sounds sooooo wrong (and HI-larious)! What do I mean? Let me give you a few examples:
Origin -------------------------------------> Result
Who's your daddy!? -----------------------> 誰是你的爸爸!?
Origin -------------------------------------> Result
Who's your daddy!? -----------------------> 誰是你的爸爸!?
(or 我是你的誰? according to Stanley Huang)
誰鳥你啊? ---------------------------------> Who bird you?
混水摸魚 ----------------------------------> Touch fish
ESPECIALLY when someone decides to be "cool" and make a music vid out of that! I just have one thing to say, 三點水 (or "3 drops of water or ==").
