I don't blame you, but I'm a medical professional and I was curious, so I clicked on in. It was pretty benign, and sausage oriented. :smile:

A Google search for "sausage enema" turned up a Reddit discussion which includes the following comments:

灌腸 (guanchang) is a local street snack in Beijing. You start with pig intestine, fill it with flour and rice, and fry it in lard. Calling it a "sausage" confuses things because to an English speaker "sausage" usually conveys a meat product.
guànchang/ guàncháng (stress on 灌) "sausage stuffed with rice" guàn cháng (stress on 腸) "to irrigate the bowels"

Does this thingy take trash and make it into trash items, one wonders?
Or maybe it takes collected trash and spreads it around?

I got 'caught' by a plagiarism program once on an exam where I was instructed to submit my exam with specific section and title names. It flagged those items. :rolleyes:

Perhaps not in the spirit of the thread, but I feel it should be pointed out that these tools are not "plagiarism detectors", they are text matching tools. One cannot just look at the matching percentage and conclude "plagiarism". It is necessary for the user to draw relevant conclusions whether the matching text constitutes plagiarism or not.
