The following is an extreme case of an unintended insult/giant misunderstanding which is completely true.
The Japanese word for “bitter” (taste) is “nigai”. Many Japanese adjectives end in “i”, for example ayashii (suspicious), kewashii (steep), osoi (late) and so on. In spoken language, the i is sometimes dropped to show exaggeration. Sometimes it is replaced with an “e” (for example: takai = expensive, take = really fucking expensive), other times it is omitted entirely. The language lesson probably bored the hell out of you, but it’s necessary for the story.
A Japanese baseball player, from the Hiroshima Carp I believe, walked into an American Starbucks. He ordered a black coffee with a teammate and sat down next to a table of two black guys. Presumably he had never been to a Japanese Starbucks and this was his first time with their coffee.
He takes one sip, and loudly announces “BLACK NIGA!!”.
One of the gentlemen at the table next to him took severe offence to this and punched him in the face.
This is a true story. [/quote]
Hahaha fuck i just woke up my gf way down at the end of the hall laughing…im picturing some little asian kid yelling BLACK NIGA!!! and getting just clobbered by some big offensive line looking …HAHAHA JESUS

In Mandarin Chinese the word for “that” is basically Nigga , sounding just like the way the rap guys in the videos say it.
Also, people in Taiwan tend to use the word a lot mid-sentence the way we’d put in an “um” or a “well”.
Anyway here’s the story: A few weeks ago we got a new student who was born with a hare lip, and my co-teacher told me, (mixing English with some Chinese) that “We have a new student with a, nigga, lip problem”

I thought you were a guy all these years… How shocked am I to find out that not only are you a female… but you’re also a lesbian.[/quote]
Yeah, I can’t quite figure out that butch look I’ve been striving for.

Sounds like you were hurt anyway.
Anyway, sometimes things come out of peoples mouths completely wrong. For instance, I’m friends with a girl (attractive) who went out on a date with this guy. The guy had apparently dated a model at some point in time. During dinner the guy was talking about the model he used to date and said something along the lines of “You know, without all that make up and stuff she wasn’t THAT pretty, she was like you.”
Now, I know the guy just wanted to tell my friend that she was just as pretty as any model but it came out completely wrong and he basically called her ugly.

One of my friends was explaining the unwanted attention his wife gets. So he says to me with my wife standing right next to me “you just don’t understand what it’s like being married to such a beautiful women”. Fortunately, he’s such a doofus my wife just blew it off.

I was at the supermarket today and was in the back going to use the (shockingly always clean) customer restroom. An old lady is wheeling her cart the opposite direction, so I walked sideways. She stopped and smiled at me saying “ohhh you’re so slim!”

I find it ironic that your name is “Smiley” but your current avatar is not smiley at all.
