we have something similar in the hokkien dialect.. which goes .. kong kong kong kong kong kong kong kong kong kong

which consists of ... kong kong = grandpa kong = says kong = can kong = hit kong = dizy

but you have to get the intonation right .. lol

It's a private theory of mine that the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were so lively because "this is an excellent shoulder of pork" sounded exactly like "I will attack your city at dawn"... :)
