From some random Chinese dude's weblog, 苦恼，被现实社会所折磨！:
房子 + 车子 = （美满的）婚姻
House + Car = (Fulfilling) Marriage房子 + 车子 + 美满的婚姻 = 幸福的生活
House + Car + Fulfilling Marriage = Living Happily Ever After
I've lost track of how many times I've heard this since moving here.

畓(논 답)
"Wow...that's like totally awesome and stuff. What does it mean?"
Read on for the answer and more invented characters.
