this is a real life situation. was with a colleague at an official meeting with some regulators.

instead of saying "... bugging you" he said " ... buggering you"... :eek: ... good thing it wasn't too clear and the officer was not paying too much attention...

While I was in Singapore, I have this friend who is not very fluent in Ingeris. One day, at another friend's party we met this beautiful gal with nice dimples.

My this Ingeris not so good friend went up to her, shook her hand and uttered: "Miss, I like your nipple, very big, very nice".

Guess what happened next? :D

p/s: This post is supposedly to be featured in the Sinjapor Boleh Tak thread but since buff started his maiden thread in General Chat, I sokong a bit lor!

Hehehehehe...like when i was working as an Lab Assistant, there was a bunch of girls talking pretty loud in there. Anyway, they were talking about seafood and one of the girls was saying how much she loves calamari(fried sotong) until she added "I love the testicles" instead of tentacles. The people in the lab just burst out laughing.

Sad to say, a similar incident happened in Malaysia - this is even worse coz it was a live telecast. When one of the Miss Malaysia/World contestants was asked to specify what she loves best about her physical appearance, she pointed to her dimples and simply said "My nipples."

This is by far the most common mistakes I come across at work.

I was having a chat with a colleague about sending children to the nursery and she mentioned that she still prefers sending her child to her "baby sister". I said, of course everyone would rather have a family member take care of their child if they have a choice. She just stared at me strangely..and it suddenly occured to me that she was actually referring to the 'babysitter'.

In Form 4, a teacher asked a classmate of mine about his dad's occupation. He replied, 'my father is a cooker'.

Have you ever heard of the Ah Bengs (sinjaporean) stories?

When filling up the forms they came to the column SEX: and filled in One week 3 times....beh tahan (some more say their Ingiris so good one). :mad:

Then they walked out from the office, while in the lift someone asked : " Beng ar, what does G floor mean ar"? Another si peh hau siaw Ah Beng answered; " Walao eh, you dunno meh, G stands for Gero floor". I lagi beh tahan.

Want some more..wait lah. Need a drink, beh tahan oredi. :D

At a disco, a Chinaman went up to the DJ counter and requested a song titled "I want to clap your hands". Initially, the DJ has no idea which song he was talking about. After playing few songs, the DJ managed to figure out the correct song that the Chinaman requested.... "I hope you comprehand" by Simply Red.

Did you guys heard about the group of Ah Bengs going to the karaoke requesting for the song "Ah Cheng Beh Loh Ti" ?

Ah Beng and Ah Lian went to the Ang Mo Kio HDB office and wanted to apply for an apartment. While filling up the forms their loud conversation can be heard throughtout the entire hall and goes like this:

Ah Lian: "Beng ar, what should I write in the Position column?"

Ah Beng: "Nabeh, this one oso they wun two no...put lah women on top lor".

The officer attending them die of heart-attack before their appilcation is approved.

Ah Beng and Ah Lian went home empty handed not knowing why?
