To be fair, if you had been watching videos in which these were the words that were actually being spoken you'd be the pickiest critic of automatic transcribing ever.
Sky News : 'British Spy Found Murdered Near MI6 HQ'. This is bullshit, according to my sat nav that postcode doesn't even exist.

Moat was so enraged by this kind of coverage, he threatened to kill a member of the public for each inaccurate report he came across, like an extremist wing of the Press Complaints Commission.

I have to admire the exact account of Shiite militants on Youtube's part. Most reporters would simply denote the militant insurgency as consisting of approximately 7,000 members - but Youtube diligently informs us that precisely 7,008 militants took part in the uprising. That's very good of them.

Don't take this too seriously, now.

There are many uses of the term "qi" in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, but it's an imprecise concept of which the best, non-poetic translation is probably "stuff".
