Sharing some interesting Chinese words with you

Hi guys, how you doing? You know there are some interesting Chinese words that if you switch the position, you'll get the total different meanings. That's pretty funny and also a good way to learn Chinese.(∩_∩) For example,
故事-story 事故-accident;
蜜蜂-bee 蜂蜜-honey;
牛奶-milk 奶牛-cow;
高清-high definition 清高-aloof or morally lofty
人生-human life 生人-someone you are't familiar or stranger
...

One of the first italki videos was of an English guy going into a tea shop, and realising that he didn't have money.  He began to panic and say that his 皮包 was gone, maybe stolen... except, he "accidentally" reversed the characters. ;)

 

So there he was, patting his pants in a panic and shouting about his loss.

 

The video ended with him leaving the shop, and the two shopkeepers laughing so hard that they could barely stand.
