Spring roll punch, Chicken finger claws

I'm teaching a bunch of mostly Americanized Chinese Americans at Kwong Kow this summer, and so I'm having them learn the names of different Kung Fu names in Cantonese.
I got some negative feedback that one Taiwanese child was crying because it wasn't in Mandarin but I didn't see it myself. In fact I tried to teach it in Mandarin one class through the help of a Mandarin teacher but the next week, well, i think she needed a break from shouting out things for the class to do as that class was a very rowdy bunch.
A few of the kids who yell out the names very loudly are from a Mandarin o English speaking background.

But what is most funny is what happened with the kids who are actually Cantonese speakers but someone Americanized. The changed the names to English Sounding equivalents, or indeed Chinese sounding equivalents with completely different meaning. These new names tell you a lot about Chinese American Culture.

It started when Chuen kuen or Penetrating Fist became Chuen Goon, or Spring Roll.
Then the next obvious one to change was to change Long Jow, or Dragon Claw, into Fun Jow.. Phoenix Claw. Phoenix Claw is of course the name of the popular Dim Sum dish which is delicious and succulent chincken feet that you put in your mouth whole, spitting the bones out onto your plate. The tendons and all that just seem to almost dissolve away.

But that was just the first week. Now these kids have been practicing for a month and have incorporated English into their comedy.

The first basic move "Shuen Yew Joon sun" which means twisting waist turning body is yelled out by me and then they are supposed to yell it back. I hear one boy scream back quite seriously before cracking a smile "Mohegan Sun!"

Then in the form, "Cup Kuen" or stamping fist becomes "Cupcake"

Hei gerk or sometimes they say fei gerk which means "leg up" or "flying kick" respectively, this modification actually makes sense. But then some kids started saying "Hey girl!" instead of "Hei gerk"

I guess you can tell by the names they choose, what is prominent in their lives, or the lives of their parents. American things like cupcake, getting girls to pay attention to you, Dim Sum, and then of course the Casinos.
