Also 外星人, since we were talking about sci-fi the other day! :D

ETA: And a quick SHL quote, because I just remembered this exchange:

Zhou Zishu (to Chengling): 要是你师叔愿意点拨你几招，那你才受用不尽呢。
Wen Kexing: 这是什么话，哪有自家徒弟不教反叫外人插手的道理呀？
Zhou Zishu: 你是外人吗？

外星人！ Perfect. (I used to have a lot of fun with the requirement to carry a so-called Alien Registration Card here...)

I can only understand about 60% of the quote but it's still funny. I love 哪有.

Hee! Certified alien! :D

That reminds me of a video I once saw, with a little kid who sees some 外国人 and thinks they're 外星人 because he got his words mixed up (IIRC). So cute! :D

Lost Tomb Reboot, episode 18:
就你们十一仓这个安保系统,就一晚上的时间我能把这儿所有的货物都搬干净 (Wu Xie bragging)

The Rebel, episode 38:
你冒这么大的风险来找游宗志拿护照就是为了逃到国外去吧

[nnozomi]

般干净 is a neat phrase! Literally "clean it out" I guess. And oh dear, of course 国外 comes up in episode 38 ;(
