windfall

  • Meaning: unexpected good fortune (originally means ripened fruits that fall from the tree)
  • In Hong Kong slang: 筍野, 無啦啦執到, 粗野(as in 撈粗野), 淨袋
  • In decent Chinese: 意外收穫, 意外之財
  • Where we first met: The Scotsman.com - a lady who won a fortune in a lucky draw donates her windfall to charity.
