RicardoLuigi... Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 there's a girl in my english class...and we're reading a book that used the word "muff". she did not know what a muff was. she then asked, "what is a muff?". the teacher replied, "well...only ladies have it...and you can put things in it...and it's important for babies..." and she still didn't get it so she finally said "it's another word for a woman's vagina." later in the period, she asked what "buxom" meant. and it was another fiasco. discuss.

elTee Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Lack of semantic knowledge isn't equatable with so-called 'Singrish', so you'll have to explain the title of this thread. Other than that, not knowing words in school is always grossly over-exaggerated. When I was in primary school I heard the word 'twat' and used it at home, to the expected reception. Following that I avoided repeating any slang words at home in case they were swear words - because I didn't know what they all meant :-) But not knowing something in the adult world is far less embarassing. I'm not sure what my point is, but I'm bored... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that girl she's the winner. I was having an internet argument with this one n00b. I was all like "OMFG pwned!" and she responeded just like this. "can you speak engish?" No caps, no l, just engish. I lol'd for about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martmeister Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I wasn't there, but the prof corrected her. I'm more impressed with some of my customers; they tell me something and I'm thinking, "riiight, you don't have the faintest idea of what you're talking about." At least about half of 'em will tell me that they don't in advance so I can nod and smile with understanding instead of criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchythesamurai Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Lack of semantic knowledge isn't equatable with so-called 'Singrish', so you'll have to explain the title of this thread. In Singapore, English is the official language, but a lot of people butcher it pretty badly so it's often referred to as Singlish. Is that what you were referring to, elTee?
