When a student asks “what does tan sao mean?”, what do you say?
The answer, in part, depends on who asks and who answers.
The young Sifu: It means "palm up block."
The abusive Sifu: It mean "Polio Hand" the way you do it.
The exasperated Sifu: So many years you study here and you still don't know? Ugh! No hope for you.
The pretend Sifu: Just keep doing it for another 2 years and ask me again.
The smart Sifu: It means "to disperse." The origins of the TanSao comes from ... (insert all variants of Henrick's and Rene's answers along with another ten pages of documents) Here, let me show you ... (insert umpteen demonstrations using up rest of class time)
The shrewd Sifu: It means "beggar's palm." By the way, <extending hand> did you pay this month?
The wise Sifu: <glaring at student> That's a good question. Have you thought about it? <student in reply> Umm, I think it means to block with the palm up. <Sifu smiles and changes subject/wanders off> <student puzzled/unconvinced and feels need to study TanSao further>
