Maoli is Canto transliteration of "mullion". In the early 20th century British foreigner teach HK people architecture. At that time building there had a lot of large windows and balconies. The main pillars of these windows and balconies are called mullion. Hong Kong people who do not understand English heard the foreigners pointed to a large wooden pole called "mullion". The wooden pole are standing there like stupid people.

@spoilerspree So moron is acceptable in this case right? Thanks for the explanation. By the way do you know what the pun Lao Mao in the next chapter means?

@Lusario
Yes

The word 老 here is used for experienced/skilled while 茂 is MC name. So they still dare to stone MC even when he is skilled enough to beat that Ip Man guy.

@spoilerspree If that's the case then instead of "idiot" "cocky" or "jerk" might better right?
