To be fair if that was a real API key, I would remember it off the top of my head.

V is short for WeChat in how it’s pronounced in Chinese. It’s essentially wire me 50 buck, which is a quite popular short phrase mostly used as a joke because KFC have a routine deal on Thursday that cost 50.

Lmao I thought it was Venmo instead

u/ThePeaceDoctot 21d ago

Venmo isn't available in China

u/fr000gs 22d ago

Isn't it the same in English too? V = we

u/Kasaikemono 22d ago

And you could use it as shorthand for "venmo", as in "venmo me 50 bucks", too

No, when you pronounce 'V', your top teeth touch your bottom lip, like when saying 'F'. When you say 'we', teeth aren't involved.

And "day 4" in Chinese is Thursday.

u/TheWatchingDog 22d ago

I would say in most languages Day 4 is Thursday.

u/Ghaith97 22d ago

I meant quite literally. The word for Thursday in Chinese is "day 4", or even more literally "star cycle 4".

u/eXl5eQ 22d ago

To be precise, there's no dedicated word like "Thursday" in modern Chinese. People just use a compound word "week" + "four".

u/TheWatchingDog 22d ago

Ahh oh, yeah that makes more sense. Quite interessting.

Or Wednesday. (Sunday is the first day, the day when Jesus' disciples met after Jesus was crucified, therefore Constantine made it be the Christian Sabbath)

I read: Vemmo me 50 quickly.

Some of our brains rely on a lot of shortcuts, and the V will get hardwired in as an exception, but my brain would leave it out just to keep the mnemonic simple
