grass mud horse

grass mud horse
One of the ten "mythical deities" invented by Chinese internet users for the purpose of circumventing censorship. Usually depicted as resembling an alpaca, and is supposedly living in the Gobi desert.

, What began as an entertaining by-product of that internet clean-up has become a sensation. This is because “Grass Mud Horse” in Chinese is a homonym for an unprintable but widely used phrase. Both the phrase – “F your mother” – and the name of the mythical animal are pronounced as caonima, although using different tones.
