Things you can't say in public.

[Ishmael]

I can sympathize. In Portuguese, "xixi" is the children's words for urine, similar to "pee", but there's a word in chinese (I think it's thankyou) that's pronounced in exactly the same way.

The Chinese word is pronounced something like "sheshe" AFAIK... Portuguese apparently has an unusual pronouncing for x

[esper]

@ Helm: That was cool. I instantly like you a hundred and seventy three point nine percent more now (don't ask why I didn't just use numbers and decimals... I'm not sure myself). Seriously didn't mean to go into defense mode. I never thought you hated black people (I don't hate black people at all... I think everyone should own at least two!) and I wasn't serious when I said I hated everyone... Although I do hate "people" mentality... I secretly have a crush on every girl in the AGS forums (girl gamers are so hot...) and can't afford to be made fun of in front of them... all...

As for the nickname... Sorry. It's not my fault Square stole the name ESPER (it seriously has been around longer than Final Fantasy 3), but I do like your name. I own two helms, one Roman and one German gothic, and refer to my computer (in a geeky Star-Trek sort of way) as the Helm... so I will probably not be too good at the comebacks...

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Aye, we pronounce  "x" as "she".

...apple? Maçã? I don't get it.

[esper]

no... I come from a Portuguese-American family (that's something you can't say in public, around here anyway: PORTUGI!) and I was always of the understanding that spelling APPLE in English: A - P - P - L - E, sounded like the words in Portuguese for "I Pee Pee over there..."

You know what I don't understand... Things like "Oh" and "Ah" aren't really words... They're monosyllabic gutteral intonations. However, you say them differently in other languages. That's like having a word in another language for the sound you make when you laugh... (I can just imagine those African tribes that click when they talk laughing and clicking away....)

Hey, while I have your attention, Rui.... There are some words that I don't know in Portuguese that I heard all the time as a kid. I don't know how to spell them, so this is as close a phonetic approximation as I can get:

   ma-MOW, used towards people who aggravate you, and EE-coo-DEESH, used when you're mad at something...

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

re apple: it's possible, but you need a fertile imagination.

re oh-ah: I don't know, I just live here.

re phonetic approximation: I had no idea.

Add to the list if you like, we can't prolong society's downfall any longer, so let's support it!!!Ã, 

At work, during those 10-hour seminars, to a group of females...

"You must be prepared and ready to give the clients whatever they want, at the moment they ask for it. They may shout at you or worse, but their psychological status is part of your job, you have to endure it or else they will not pay for your services. You work under difficult circumstances but relieving their stress and doing your best to help them is what you are here for. They may say whatever they like, they are the clients and you have to keep smiling and being friendly."

So people... relax before feeling mocked. Here there are no mockers.

Lo siento, aquí no hablamos Español.

Puhukaa nyt edes jotain kieltä mitä ihmiset ymmärtää

[Nacho]

"el pendejo de LA cabra"

The pennis of the goat. Goat is female in Spanish, so it has to be "LA".

Additionally, goats have no pennis, that's the "Macho cabrío", more or less, the "Male goat".

Please revisit the sentence and write it again 20 times,  no cut and paste, please.

I could be wrong, but when I was in elementary school, the joke with APPLE was to hold your tongue out of your mouth with your fingers and try to say it...It came out something like @$$hole.

I hate Greek people...

[Back to topic]In my world, ehm, land that is, you just can't say things like God bless you, in the words actual meaning or anything related to you believeing in God... For example if I say after an accident: "Thank you God they are safe!", people will look at me like I'm a freaking believer, like keep your God at home... Doesn't quite fit the Finnish vocabulary that word God.

You can say oh for God's sake, or oh Jesus christ what the f**k is going on?! And this won't be regarded as nothing else but common articulation. I for one am alike. we do feel odd about religious speeches unless in church.[/Back to topic]

I just really wanna know if there are black Panthers in Greece...

We do however have more than 10 words for describing Hell and Satan.

Fascinating people, Finnish.

Did I loose something? Why?
