A '''Chinaman''' could be, literally, a "man from [[China]]". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]'') However, the word had an entirely different meaning in the sport of [[cricket]]. In that context it was, as the [[Fifth Doctor]] once explained to [[Turlough]], an "[[off break]] ball bowled by a left-hand at a right-handed batsman". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Phantasmagoria]]'')
