A lottery winner in Chongging who won the prize of 82,430,000 RMB armed to the teeth when he claimed the prize on May 4. He was in fear of being coveted. Money, why do you so glamorous?

"Armed to the teeth" ???

I thought personal firearms were forbidden in China. How was the winner armed?

'Armed to the teeth' is a phrase that was coined to describe holding a knife in the teeth, so no doubt this anxious winner was carrying a knife or two.

As an aside, an in my usual disconnected thought - A person who is well and truly drunk is sometimes decribed as 'legless'. If he/she was also carrying no weapons, he/she would be unarmed....sooooo, he/she would be totally limbless! (and for the true lovers of absurd humour, that reminds we of a scene in the Monty Python movie - In search of the Holy Grail). OK OK I'll stop.
