Definitions
- A type of hollow snack, common in westernized Chinese cuisine: a crisp sugary wafer containing a message on a narrow strip of paper, generally with a wise or vaguely prophetic message or random numbers usable in a lottery printed on the paper.
- A quote-of-the-day feature (especially on *nix systems.)
- The vulva of canine species. Named so due to its resemblance to the snack.
