Ah Beng & Malaysian Men

A short but funny break from food posts. This "Engrish" humour came from an email that was forwarded to me. I am not a perfectionist, I understand not everyone speaks the language fluently. I get laughed at trying to speak Hokkien when most things I say end up being on the lewd side without me intending it to be! We all must learn to laugh at ourselves, Ha ha ha...This is for entertainment purposes (especially for the Malaysians!).

*************
Dear Ah Lian

Lyn and I got talking and we thought of some things that we can't stand about Malaysian men; not sure whether it's the same for men elsewhere. Sorry, guys....feel free to have your say in my comment box if you want to counter attack. We were just trying to list out five of them. You women may add yours in the list if you want to. To be fair, we acknowledge not all Malaysian men are like this but sadly, most are! Ha ha ha...

1) Men who make those awful and draggy sound from the throat just before they spit out their phlegm onto the ground in a public area!

2) Men who keep their little pinkie fingernail long which is use for many purposes (to clear food stuck in their teeth, to dig their ears, see also No. 4)

3) Men who scratch their balls in public

4) Men who dig their nose in public; showing us they enjoy it (for goodness sake, it's like they are stirring dodol or something!) and proceed to make little balls out of their booger. Eewwww.....

We got stuck at 4 and another friend came out with the fifth one.

5) Men wearing sandals/slippers, who would seat and cross their leg or put a leg up on the chair. That's not the crime, but what is, is that they would proceed to start rubbing their toes and in between...and yes, then make little balls out of the dirt.

What's with men and balls? That's three out of five. LOL!

hahaha....

i like the linguistic take. but i definitely cannot see myself spending my entire life with someone whose vocabulary is made up of a series of grunts. i need intellectual stimulation =) (and music too).

how about men talk really loudly when other males are around? malaysian men tend to do that a lot.

re: the long pinky nails (i think it's a malaysian thing! thank god!)

farting and nose digging is universal, sadly.

see the southpark "hybrid + smugness" episode =)

wmw said...

firehorse:Ya lah, farting! Ha ha.....like C said, that and nose digging is universal.

c : Yah, the linguistic part is funny..."annie wear sari"! hee hee
Mmm....long pinky nails is Malaysian, eh?
