Gus Tate had a crack last week (June 3) at defining how his Cantonese students define "strong", and that might work down South.

I know I'm not a weightlifter, and that my muscle structure is not exactly going to win any prizes next time Arnold Schwarzenegger judges Mr Universe. But I, too, have been labeled strong.
