Hello! My partner and I are very different heights. Upon being shown a photo of us, my partner's coworker laughed and said the phrase in the photo. She said that it's a funny thing to say to partners of different heights. She google-translated it to "electric pole fir tree rat box" but said that it works much better in cantonese and doesnt translate well. I agree with her on that point. I'm hoping someone who can grasp the nuance of both cantonese and english can translate it in a way that explains what it means/ why it's funny. Thank you!
