A man got his father-in-law extremely angry when he gifted him a bottle of expensive Hennessy wine and two cartons of Baihe cigarettes on his birthday in Zhengzhou, Capital of Henan province, last Tuesday.

Wang mispronounced the name of the wine, saying Xuannisi, which means "pick you die," as well as the cigarettes, saying Baihuo, which sounds like "you have wasted your life."
