Learn Chinese - 马马虎虎- Sloppy
马 ma 马 ma 虎 hu 虎 hu - Sloppy
Mama and Huhu are said to have been two good friends, one rich and the other not.
The richer Huhu helped out Mama until after a time they came to live together. Their families and descendants became indistinguishable.
Mama's roundabout way of solving a problem for Huhu is also considered when people now use the phrase to mean doing things carelessly, or sloppily.
It also used to mean so-so in response to "How's business?" Or "How's your Chinese study coming along?"
