Can the phrase a "rotten-tail building" be understood by native speakers?
====================
The contruction workers demanded a fair return for their hard work. But the boss, who promised to meet the demand yet already delayed paying the workers wages for almost a year(totalling $10 million US), ran away secretly with the money.That is why you see the building stands there stupidly, unfinished. In China, people call such a building as a "rotten-tail building".
