Definition: A tall dandy.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That definition in the dictionary – “a tall dandy” – is a bit of a trick, you see. It's a clever way to disguise its true history! You know, Shanghai hasn’t always been called that name, it’s quite a story, a fascinating game. Let's go back in time, let’s rewind with glee, To the city of Wusong, originally! “Shanghai” actually comes from a dialect phrase, you must agree, Meaning “above the Huangpu River,” for all the world to see! “Huangpu” is the river that flows so wide, And "Shanghai" simply told where it resided. So while “tall dandy” might sound a bit absurd, It’s just an older way to say its location, word by word! Does that make more sense? Any questions for me now?
