How do you say it?! Languages and Colloquisms

Theres another point, it seems to be certain areas this saying is confined to, very strange!!

Ask about, I reckon someone you know may have heard of it?

Is it 'to be annoyed with something or somebody'?

Kinda doesn't make sense though... 'seen my arse'?

I no what you mean, when you break it down it dosent make sense at all.

It means your annoyed at someone or something

Anyone off to Egypt here are some phrases:...Ahlan wa sahlan=Hello..Salam=Goodbye..Sahab el-kheir=Good morning..Masaa el-kheir=Good evening.
Tisbah ala kheir=Good night.
Salam alekum=Peace be with you,frequently occurring greeting.
Wa alekum es salam=And upon you be peace,response to above.
Izayak(m)..Izayek(f)=How are you.
Shukran=Thank you.
Shukran Gidann=Thank you very much.

Just a few to get you going.

'Her Tassie' - her genitalia (resembles the state of Tasmania)

So I guess there's some connection with fish?

No

No

I was putting 2 and 2 together with Tasmania having plenty of coastline with shitloads of fish and the fishy aroma associated with the female reproductive organs.

No, the state just looks like one is all

So I suppose they don't give a sh*t when somebody calls them a tw*t.

The only two words you need to learn for Venice is Cornetto and pizza !!    Oh and vino !!   

Nah the only italian you need is 'Uno Peroni por favore'

Some Cantonese for you:-

Ling  = 0
Yat = 1
Yi   = 2
Sam = 3
Say = 4
Ng  = 5
Luk = 6
Chat = 7
Baht = 8
Gau = 9
Sap = 10

anything over ten is multiples of 'Sap' followed by the units eg:- 'Say sap sam' would be 43

'Mmm Goy' = thank you (for a service, waiter etc)
Dor jeh = thank you for a gift
Jo San = Good morning
Joy geen = good evening
Nei ho ma? = how are you?
Gei ho, Nei Nei = very well, and you?
Lei sik, mm sik, gong gwong dung wa?...... do you speak cantonese?
Lei sik, mm sik, gong ying man?........ do you speak English?
Hai = yes
Mm hai = no
Gei do cheen?= How much?

However I must point out that Cantonese is very much a tonal language, so its not so much what you say but HOW you say it....

'Gau' can mean 9, shoes or Crab depending on which tones you use!


Also the syntax in spoken Cantonese is nothing like we would use in sentances in English, there are classifiers for certain objects and you never seem to ask a direct question but provide the negative within the question?..... as in 'Lei sik, mm sik, gong gwong dung wah?, the literal translation is:.... 'You do, do not, speak Cantonese'...... the 'Mm sik' being the negative....... and people seem to have a habit of adding 'Ah' to the end of every query, as in 'Gei do cheen ah?...... how much?


I'll shut up now that I have confused everyone! 

Any Irish on here realise a lot of the Scouse phrases are the same or similar to ones used in Dublin and the surrounding areas ? Oul Fella, sound, offy, D sounds instead of Th etc.

Do canadians and australians pronounce z as zed or zee, and tomatoe with an arr or an a

que bares buenos hay?=which is a good bar.
quiere tomar algo?=would you like a drink.

^^ "I'll shut up now that I have confused everyone!  Grin"

  Well, you indeed have! (nah joke)
Well I remember only how to say yes and no. 

I forgot the most important phrase:...........

'Mm goy lei, Leung ghsee bei jau' = Two beers please!  :

Sorry for my ignorance guys, but what does the scouse term come'ead or something like that mean exactly? Is it come here?

Yeah, thats nearly right !!  Like when your walking away from someone and you want them to come with you, you would say 'come 'ed '
