The last few posts had me in stitches!
Thanks for the laughs and Ah Beng, you're definitely one of a kind and I'm now intrigued by your alter ego, ever since Tootsie smelled a rat.
Let's try this one for size:
Lu simi mia? Mai jiesiau lar!
Aap ka asli naam kya hai? Sachhi baat bolna!
Siapa nama awak? Jangan bedek dan cakap betul, yah!
Which of these really fit you?

Re: Classic
Words in brackets for Bubbles' benefit...
But of course ah, you choose the wrong forum to exhibit ur powderful singlish. Unless you trying to impress Bubbles then I dunno lah.
Even if we put Gurmit as our national icon for reproduction, ppl have no mood means no mood. These sort of things cannot force or psycho. Ppl not relaxed, bo pian (no choice).
Of course Ah Lau, don't underestimate the 'weaker sex'.Ah Lau wrote:Wah Lau (my gosh), sg female I outclass by u leh. U can say wat i say i queens language...make me lose face heheu char boh (girls) so clever one leh

Not all gals are from RGS (Raffles Girls' School) leh, what for you aim the stylo (well excelled) when you got plenty other gals with no bf like from Jurong Sec, Bedok Sec etc... FYI I'm also not an RGS girl, but watch ang moh (english) movies all the time so pick up the lingo lagi (quite) fast lah.Ah Lau wrote:like those rgs gals so smart one...score nothing but straight A's Where us guys stand a chance next to them
Understand, but although there's RGS, there's also RI (Raffles Institute). RGS must match RI, the mentality sama sama (same). We, the not-so-chim must match those who can understand the way we think, make sense or not?Ah Lau wrote:No wonder new PM Lee...(he no problem.... oxbridge heliucated..no shortage of char boh drooling over him) got such problem in Singapore's reproduction...aiya dunno how to put it lah..
U toking abt which char boh? I char boh too but I no arouse by big degree, big fat degree is useless if the fella got no sense of humor, work attitude got problem, and one-kind (arrogant) to his woman. Make sense or not? Me married liao, when married that time I have degree, my hubby only diploma. But I also dun care 'cos got the ai ching (love) mah, love overcomes all. Anyway he just got his degree, so sama sama liao.Ah Lau wrote:U see singapore char boh get really aroused by IVY League and Oxbridge degrees..but these types dun make babies..
Oi hello, must have the gan ching (emotional aspect) first hor. Char boh are more than the body, as you can see, we also have the brains. To have us you must be serious first, and faithful, sacrificial and loving. No say bang then bang, women will siam (avoid) you.Ah Lau wrote:we see we bang...haha...sori if i sound so chor lor...jus being frank here...all this helps in nation building mah
Ah Lau wrote:i suggest we should nominate some beng or seng as national icon for enhancing the nation's collective reproductive urge...haha maybe a gurmit like that type...wat say u?

Wah you must try to be more polite in front of ladies leh. Even if u thinking those RA (sexual) stuff, don't tell us leh. Very paiseh (embarassing), and chor loh (crude) for your image. You want to sian (woo) girls, very easy. Just learn to talk with respect, and flatter her often. Soon, you will be a char boh magnet.Ah Lau wrote:toots...haha i nearly say something else for last nick...sounds similar to the char boh anatomy

To Ah Lau and SG female
Wonderful....fantastic, spiffing, out of this world...........the Talkingcock site.
There's only one problem.
I love all the words so much that I'm going be in a state trying to learn them and incorporate them into my day to day living here. Mind you, who the hell would understand, say when I'm in Cardiff or London shopping, what I'm saying is another matter. But do I care? Do I hell!!
What we really need is someone on this site who knows Cockney Slang. Anyone guys from London out there? I know a few but it's an art form if done correctly.
Going to make tea now, be back in a bit........

Re: Single Woman
I lived in London for a year. The only slangs I learnt that I can repeat at the moment are "Cheers", "Bloke", "Lass", "Bleddy hell", "Ainnit", "Rasmala" (learnt this one from Goodness Gracious Me, no idea what it means to this day), "Blimey", "Spod" and "Squire".Bubbles wrote:What we really need is someone on this site who knows Cockney Slang.

Should we attempt to exchange slangs?

Single Girl
Now, now boys and girls, you're going too fast for me. It's like sitting an exam here in Wales you know, trying to learn all these new words and phrases.
There's something I must tell you. When I lived in Singapore (hopefully to do so next year again too, so watch out you lot, but that's another story) so, when I lived there, even though I had lots of Sing mates, and I heard the odd phrase or two of Singlish, it really didn't play a big part in my life. And as such, I must admit I tended to dismiss it as maybe something you Singaporeans hid, or didn't publicize. I know now, if what you say is true, that this version of English is widely spoken in Singapore. What a shame I didn't get into it further when I was there. I think it adds so much colour to things.
Admittedly, I would prefer little bits of it now and then, because, as yet, i don't understand it all, but I think it's wonderful. Please, please don't go trying to stamp it out, or hide it in any way. The progression of a people's language away from the original mother tongue is proof that those people are growing and furthering themselves. That's what I think, anyway. Language is a fluid thing, always changing and morphing into something other. Long may it continue to do so.....lah!!!!
Byeeeeeeeee.........
Cockney slang is more along the line of.........
Apples and Pears...............means stairs etc
Just found a good site for it..........
cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk if you'd like to see what I mean. Come on, let's put some of that into Singlish and I'll do my very best here in Cardiff to get some Singlish into Welsh.............blinking heck, we'll all be confused soon...............lololol!!!!!!

Re: Interpretation
Wah seh (Wow) Ah Lau, you clever to anyhow wayang (act)? You are the cheeko pek (pervert), you don't believe just scroll up, yet you geh geh (pretend to be) so guai (obedient). Wait your mother scold you hor (btw, you Ah Lau still stay with mother?) And who say you got try to suan (woo) me? I only advise you how to chase chio bu (pretty girls), 'cos you obviously sotong (unsure).
Me no kids lah, bo lui (no money). LHL's (Lee Hsien Loong) incentive never cover after 3months and before kindergarten, my parents also working. Who got time to look after baby? Si bei sian (frustrating), but bo pian (no choice). Not say got experience or what. You Ah Lau leh, unless fake one.

Hi, seems that you are lady with a vengeance towards locals as well as M'sian man. I do not wish to engage myself with you in a lengthy argument, but i must disagree with some points that you have expressed in your previous message. True enough man generally have greater desire for "close proximity", however I wish to bring to your attention that not all man are like that. There are some nice ones out there whom you have the unfortunate luck of meeting with them yet.Alya wrote:Interesting men in Singapore? Regardless of them being local or 'expat'/foreign, i have to say... NIL, NADA, NEIN, there are no interesting men in Singapore... and if there are, someone tell where they are so i could meet them too.
............................................................................
Good luck!
Please do not be so critical of the men here and give them the benefit of the doubt. Men and women are all the same all over the world, that they are only human
I wish you the best of luck in searching for your soul mate.

Thank you Ah Lau, no I know that local men (you at least) tend to take things the wrong way and to be rude therefore they are best avoided.
I'm not rich, actually I'm a backpacker, and although money is not at all what I look for in a man, good manners are a priority. And being able to accept a little criticism with good humor and trying to learn from it is also a good quality that you lack.
