For those of you that have always wondered..... ( Epic )

[Jester]

That picture says it all. In other words.....



RUN, GK, RUN!!!!

Curse you Froglet!! *shakes fist*

And this time my poor dog was in my line of fire. He needs a bath now....

[RebeccaOTool]

This has to be some teenager screwing with you, right? Humanity just can't be that creepy...right? RIGHT?!

[Dreamstalker]

If you saw some of what I have downtown and/or on the MBTA, you would rethink that statement.

I'm gonna come off pretty stupid, but...uh...why is he called the loach?

I would guess because real loaches are scavenging bottom-feeders. (The difference, of course, is that real loaches are very useful creatures.)

Back on topic, holy crud, GK, how can you handle eighty calls from that flake without screaming at her? I would've gone postal on a caller like that by call #5! If anyone deserves a seven hour loungeabout at a top notch spa, you do, especially after dealing with her!

And I really, really like the idea of the stalker reality show...! But I think I'd douse the winner in animal blood and drop him/her in the middle of shark-infested waters...

I have no clue if this would work in Canada, but in America, if you could wrangle her address out of her, you could call the cops and ask them to do a 'wellness check' by explaining that she keeps calling the emergency line but you can't figure out what it is she needs help with. If she's nuts enough at THEM, they can decide to haul her to a hospital. Then said drugs-or-lack-thereof can be taken care of.

The Fangirl #8: ?!!?!

Me: “Good morning, <emergency line>”
FG: “HELLO GK?!”
Me: “Yes.”
FG: “<Absolute top of the lungs screaming at me in Mandarin>”
Me “……!?”
FG: “<More screaming> NIGGER!! <screaming>”
Me: “Excuse m-?!”
FG: “<Additional screaming that persisted until I hung up.>”

……whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you seriously n-bomb me? Ok, deal’s off. That’s an end all tag word. I have utterly no idea what your problem is and no inclination to help you with it. Please go away. The fuck away.

PLEASE.

In case you were not just being funny in Mandarin there is a very common expression that sounds like NIGGER to the American ear. Its either Ni Ge : You give, or Ei Ge: One of a countable object [but pronounced very fast so it sounds like the n-bomb anyway]. You hear it quite a bit, but you get used to it and once you learn the tones it doesn't sound as similar anymore. However, I have been quite conscious of this when I'm out with Chinese people and they keep using those phrases in America; it feels uncomfortable.

Considering it was in the middle of rapid fire screaming Mandarin it was just a misunderstanding.

My ear is Canadian and in all honesty I hear more Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and Thai than English some days. I've never encountered a phrase that I thought was similar to the N-Bomb.

However, it had a distinct R in it ( and was shrieked alone, not as part of a sentence ) and she rambles between Mandarin and English seemingly at random. Seeing as she's bombed us a few more times since I have my doubts as to a benign meaning. As it tends to trot out when she's really wound up / pissed at me or coworker.

There's no telling with her. Hell, right now she just calls and SCREAMS passages from the Bible at us.

Well, I fully believe she is crazy and used the racial slur.

Double checking the Mandarin Phrase is nei ge : meaning That, but also umm.

I hear it all the time in mainland China, and a fair bit in southern California. I just love it when languages have phonetically similar words with completely different meanings.

I just love it when languages have phonetically similar words with completely different meanings.

I heard of a married Danish couple (some of my brothers friends) who were in New York and had an argument in the subway, at least she had an argument . At last she screamed "And you just sit there nodding!". In Danish nodding is "nikker" and is pronounced exactly like the racial slur, her husband is coloured and suddenly everybody was staring at her .
They tried to explain but they got off the train at the next stop.
