Lancerlord: Excuse me, may I know where I can get NTUC vouchers?
Cashier: You can get at our office.
Lancerlord: Where is your office?
Cashier: You walk that way. On the right side.
* Cashier points in a general direction *
Lancerlord: Is it beside the fish section?
Cashier: No! No! Near the mortuary one.
Lancerlord: Huh? More what?
Cashier: Mortuary! Mortuary!
* Lancerlord walks away, not knowing what the hell the Cashier had just said *
Finally I found the office, after asking another staff for directions.
Before I entered the office, I saw the section that displays this
Mortuary! Mortuary
Lancerlord puts palm on forehead
skali she meant the frozen meat section...trying to be smart ah...the cashier. haaa
ReplyDeletehahahaha, so funnY! Margarine becomes mortuary.... which reminded me of an incident, when I was back in Spore, ordering something at McDonalds.
ReplyDeleteI forgot I was not in US, so requested for "tartar" sauce using the American pronunciation (tär-t'r). So the boy who took my order was very puzzled, until I said "tar tar" sauce. He said, "oh, tar tar sauce. Got. Got." Then, he imitated the pronunciation (ta-ter) which got his crew members laughing their heads off!

ReplyDeletemortuary must've sounded very posh at that moment, methinks..
ah 9: The way she said, made my blain frozen. Couldn't think for a moment.
ReplyDeleteanna: My version would be tah-tah sauce.
alexis: I can also foul up. Suppose to say "I am doing some simulation" become "doing some stimulation". "Pass me kitchen roll" become "chicken roll". A lot lah.
agentx: That kind of slang too powerful for me to digest.
