Translates from Mandarin into something quite rude ... apparently
I remember many decades ago going out with a mate. We got howling drunk and went for a chinese takeaway. He was the son of the Sierra Leonean ambassador and had lived in a few places. He said something in Chinese to the owner. The owner went absolutely ballistic, in a way that I have never seen before or since. He ran back into the kitchen, grabbed a meat cleaver and hurdled the counter. We legged it. Translates from Mandarin into something quite rude ... apparently
The next day, he claimed to have no knowledge of what he'd said.
-when you were born you must have been the afterbirth...
Not crass or rude, but a good one my wife came out with.
In the supermarket, we were stood waiting to load our shopping onto the conveyor and the woman in front was at the stage of packing her food into her bags with an empty trolley
My wife asked if she'd mind moving her trolley forward a bit as it was stopping us from unloading our trolley. The woman simply replied "just wait, it won't get you through the till any quicker" possibly correct, but against all shipping etiquette I've ever witnessed and was actually stopping us from unloading any shopping.
We left it there, but the woman was obviously having a bad day, or wasn't impressed at being asked politely to move her trolley as she then thought it necessary to try and patronise my wife "see, do you understand?..You can't come through until I've paid anyway" she kept saying.
My wife just stood there, didn't say a word and when the woman had momentarily finished her little rant, just as she was about to start again, my wife said in a slightly raised voice "I think we'll leave it there shall we? you're obviously not a very nice person and I don't want to talk to you any more"
The woman was speechless, how do you come back from that? She just paid and left. The faces on the people near us who'd seen it all happen was priceless.
