cute local english language inventions
my gf has some funny and charming little sayings in English that are quite descriptive and accurate.
perhaps members can add some.
she angry bird with him - about her friend's spat with boyfriend
why they look big eye? - when she saw a lot of people looking at something
i feel sick, eye go round - meaning dizzy or feels faint
after a hair cut- head you same orange- same ball
some of these must come direct from Khmer construction with a literal translation?

hahhahah... dizzy...
"after a hair cut- head you same orange-same ball"
does it mean after having a hair cut, but your hair seems same ( still long or a lot) ?

Not trying to be a party naysayer but one need to be careful about lovers self made bi language. It is the best way for both to never handle the foreign language properly.

It's a form of endearment/play, it has nothing to do with learning the language.

Having a round head means you will never be rich. To be rich you must have the back of your head shapped 'flat' so that you can sleep on your back, insuring that you will be rich.frank lee bent wrote:no, i got it extra short which reveals the spherical perfection of my head.

A girl would sometimes say "why you look up and down me" when I didn't want to give her money. I laughed, she laughed, then I buried her in the backyard.
