- 大天二daai6 tin1 ji2An analogy of bandit, despot, bully, thug. There's 2 sources of this term: 1. orginated from "Ding Yi", which in Chinese character 丁(boy) add up to 二(two) looks like character 王(King), used as a metaphor of the bandits in the late years of Republic Era of China, that occupied a mountain and called himself a king. The term was then wrongly said as "Tin Yi". 2. orignated from Tin Gau (Chinese Domino), where the 3 biggest tiles are Sky("Tin",12 points), Earth(2 points or "Yi"), Man (8 points). The 2 biggest tiles Sky("Tin") and Earth("Yi") are capable to hit the Man, so the term "Big Tin Yi" is used as a metaphor or thugs that often hit people as a threat. Literally: Big Tin Yi(Big Sky Two)
