棺材楦子 [guān cái xuàn zi] [guan cai xuan zi]—
楦子 [xuan zi] (xuànzi) refers to a last, a mold used for making shoes. (guāncai xuànzi) refers to a 死屍 [si shi] (sǐshī) (corpse), because a dead person is placed flat inside a 棺材 [guan cai] (guāncai) (coffin), just like a 楦頭 [xuan tou] (xuàntóu) (last) is placed flat inside a shoe. Later, because 老年人 [lao nian ren] (lǎoniánrén) (elderly people) are not far from death, they are jokingly referred to as (guāncai xuànzi). In Chapter 36 of 《醒世姻緣傳 [xing shi yin yuan chuan]》 (Xǐngshì Yīnyuán Zhuàn) (The Story of a Marriage to Awaken the World), it says: "Don't even think about yourself, an old (guāncai xuànzi) of seventy or eighty years old. Would that strong and vigorous 妖精 [yao jing] (yāojing) (demon/fox spirit) really be infatuated with your advantages?"
棺材楦子：楦子，做鞋用的楦頭。棺材楦子指死屍，因死人放在棺材裡，好像楦頭放在鞋裡一樣平直，故稱為「棺材楦子」。後因老年人離死期不遠，故戲稱老年人為「棺材楦子」。《醒世姻緣傳》第三六回：「再不想自己七老八十的個棺材楦子，他那身強火盛的妖精，卻是戀你那些好處？」
