Gothouse [none/use name]

Huh? No, wet markets are a specific kind of market that’s everywhere in China. There are different licenses for those kinds of businesses, they’re a lot easier to qualify for. One reason they always have such shady practices. There’s no such term for “dry market”, they just use the word shop or supermarket.

That’s not the most complimentary turn of phrase, either. It’s like being called “laowai” or “gaijin”. It identifies the victim of the slur as The Other and not to be trusted.

Wet markets are what they’re called. It’s a gigantic barn with tons of stalls and questionable sanitary conditions. They hose off the concrete floors so they’re wet. A butcher’s shop is a shop that handles meat, China has those too. They’re more expensive than the wet markets.

Chinese like eating exotic animals, it gives them status in front of their peers. I once saw a whole alligator in a tank in a Cantonese restaurant, no joke.

Kind of a weird word. Smells close to the way Christians use “heretic” or Muslims use “infidel”.

What’s a goyim?

That’s so fucked up. How is this legal in a civilized country?
