囫圇

Learned a few new Chinese words today! 囫圇 is usually used in this phrase: 囫圇吞棗. According to my friend, the origin of this proverb was that "棗" is good for the stomach, but bad for the teeth, so someone said it's best just to swallow the 棗 without chewing... So 囫圇 means "胡亂吸收不問內容" :-)

Thanks for teaching me that!
