I heard this 'little mouse' (小老鼠) a lot in Taiwan. At the beginning, I scratched my head and have no crew what was going on. Well, I got it now; it is part of modern Taiwanese vocabulary to describe an e-mail address. For example, my e-mail address is dr.fmchen@gmail.com. In the states, the '@' is called 'at'. In Taiwan, it is called the 'little mouse', or 小老鼠. If you look more closely to @, it looks more as the 'little mouse' 小老鼠, then the word 'at'.
Do you agree?
