About the single Chinese word that means “finish”, “終” is probably closer to “完” in terms of meaning, but I also think it imply more to “death” too. I guess the word you used is not the main reason that makes (Chinese) people think you’re making fun of them, it is where you put the word. Put a word on a dragon’s head is like put a word on a people’s head. Try imagine put a word “finish” on a people’s head and what you feel about it.

But anyway, I don’t think anything you done is bad, as of Chinese say “不知者無罪”, meaning “You are not guilty because you don’t know it”.

I am happy to say – I actually do know most of those! Four because 四 sounds like death, same thing with clock, and white is for funerals – is there significance in the wrist watch part of it (or just that they are clocks)?

If I would have though about it a bit, a culture with a 5000 year history probably has deep meanings in a lot of their symbols / rituals, and I should probably have understood them before I tried to make a game out of them… live and learn.
