WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Shut up and stop jinxing us; your negativity is making me anxious.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Aversion to Inauspicious Speech (Wuyazui)

In Chinese culture, vocalizing negative outcomes is often viewed as actively inviting misfortune (like the ill-omened crow), so people strongly discourage pessimistic talk in critical moments.
