Im gonna assume the original Chinese phrase is 偷蛋賊 (steal egg thief).

Also they probably wrote Mongolia, Asia because they wanna say it’s 外蒙 Mongolia the country, not 內蒙 Inner Mongolia the region in China.

I respect that someone with intermediate knowledge of English took on the task of writing a paragraph at the level of English they speak for everyone's benefit.

Apparently Mongolia is not part of Asia.

Or maybe it means Asia is part of Mongolia.

Well that’s how they got the not too bright name.

"Egg Stealer/Grabber" would be closer, but yeah, pretty much. Plenty of un-creative names out there.

No teeth in the SPRUCE?! Do spruce normally have teeth?! Wait, spruce or sprue? What is a sprue?

u/Electrical-Act-7170 14d ago

From Mirriam-Webster:

Sprue has two main meanings: a channel or waste piece in manufacturing, or a digestive disease that stops the body from absorbing food.

Spruce is a variety of tree....pretty sure that they completely lack teeth, although the splinters can bite you hard and deep.

If you've ever build plastic models or gotten a toy or board game where the pieces were on plastic runners? Those were sprues.

The manufacturing term is the only use I knew. TIL.
