• You carried a lunch box to school but either threw away the food or brought it back home again. [NO!!! I very guai one hor, I finished everything in school!]

• KFC used to be a high class restaurant that served food in plates and had metal forks and knives.
• The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS ‘chicken pie’…you just couldn’t bring yourself to say the hokkien translation.
