Mamahuhu in Chinese literally translates to horse horse Tiger Tiger. Its slang meaning means so-so. Now you know.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a painter who liked to paint anything he felt like painting. Most people could not understand his paintings. One day, when he had just finished a painting of a tiger’ head, his friend came to ask him for a painting of a horse. So, he painted a horse’s body behind the tiger’s head. His friend asked him if the painting was of a tiger or a horse. He answered “马马虎虎 (mǎmǎhuhu) horse and tiger”. His friend rejected his painting, so he put it up in his living room.
His eldest son asked him “what was in the painting?” He answered, “a tiger.” However, when his younger son asked him he answered, “a horse.” Shortly after this, his eldest son while hunting shot someone’s horse because he thought it was a tiger. The painter had to pay the owner of the horse a lot of money. His second son went out and saw a tiger and he wanted to ride it because he thought it was a horse. But, when the boy tried to ride the tiger it killed him.
The painter was very sad, so he burned the painting. These days the idiom is used to describe someone who is careless or situations and things that are not special or just common. (Sorry, forget where the source is.)
