AC S5, how exactly did they get "Fuck the fry cow river" out of fried noodles with beef -- or "Many privates" from just toast?

Thanks!

They are translating it to english word for word. I think they just grab a Chinese-English dictionary and just look up those words.

The first charcter in fuck to fry cow river is similar to the F word in mandarin so that's how they got fuck as the translation. Cow actually means beef in that context and river is the type of noodles "Ho Fan" those flat white noodles.

Many Private again is a word for word translation.
