In the UK if you take someone's arm in your hands and twist each hand in different directions it's called a chinese burn... does anyone know why?

It dates back to 1018 AD. A chinese man called Win Po Po Ding made himself a wrisit watch but put it on before the metal had cooled thus burning himself. Hence the name Chinese burn.

Maybe it was used as a form of torture in the old days in China, but those Chinese burns don't half hurt.

I don't think this has anything to do with Chinese. Cause I never saw this in China before.
