Huh, I looked up the word. хуй?

Looks like Russians and Americans can find common ground on thinking Chinese last names look like "penis", even if we're making fun of Wang and they're making fun of Hui.

In Chinese socialism is shè huì zhǔ yì, which had to be intentionally misromanized as шэхуэйчжуи to avoid dick jokes.

What's the mistake? Look up; хуэй is a much better representation of the pronunciation of 会 than хуй would be. The pinyin spelling "hui" omits the primary vowel of the syllable.
