What a request!

Would you also please list all the Chinese loanwords in English?



Now that would be an interesting request. There can't be that many, can
there? Fewer than 100, I guess?

More interesting is how many of the expressions and phrases used in English
are originally Chinese? I've always suspected that "good egg/bad egg" in
English meaning a good or bad person comes originally from the Chinese "bad
egg", but I'm not sure.
