Etymology
From a video dating back to 2007 when a group of Manchester United fans in Hong Kong were riding an open-top bus to celebrate their team's victory. The poor quality of the camera used and quick speech of the fans caused the slogan "united" by the fans to sound distorted, resulting in it being misheard to Cantonese viewers.
