short-lived; to use up or run out soon; to meet its end sooner or later; it won't last long [lit] Japanese liner This is the first part of a 歇後語 that has 池早丸 as the hidden part. 池早丸 could be a fictitious name of a Japanese liner but its pronunciation is really close to 遲早完 which means "the end will come sooner or later".
