Can we cut the woke BS please? In English it's called Chinese circus, period. Human acrobatics and other similar elements always were and always will be called circus in this language. Each region, country, culture has its own specific characteristics, some more universal and some less. If we would need to invent new terms for each local variety of common, well-established vernacular words, we'd end up like the Japanese of WWII, who hardly understood a word of their emperor's capitulation speech, because he spoke "court Japanese". We're enforcing a self-inflicted, secular Babylonian confusion of tongues. (Although "wokeness" is less and less "secular" and turning into religion-style dogma, or a neuro-psychotic affliction.) Let's please stay sane, don't go mad voluntarily. Arminden (talk) 15:58, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
