Talking over IM to a friend from college and Google, who founded a startup in China. He's on a trip to the US, meeting with corporate partners. After discussing our respective work endeavours:
ac: good luck
ac: Add oil! (chinese phrase, meaning 'go for it')
niniane: thanks, you too
niniane: though it sounds like you don't need it
niniane: you are already on fire!
ac: yeah, it's called my burn rate

I'm looking forward to your massage health centre startup.
Don't add too much oil though, or you might wind up in Oil Panic (Nintendo proverb).
I always liked that Chinese phrase "Add oil!" as a cheer. But I wondered what the Chinese used before the invention of the combustion engine - "Feed the horse?"
What kind of oil are we talking about? Cooking oil or oil for an engine?

I think "Add gas" is more relevant to that chinese phrase than "add oil". gas == oil in chinese pronounciation
