English expletives > Hokkien language?Originally posted by daphne_1802:i'd rather english expletives than the hokien language in general. hearing a person speak in hokien can be more offensive than a single vulgarity in the english language. swearing in english does not make u low class. besides that, so what if eminem has explicit lyrics in his songs. he is famous because of that and it is the reason why his records go platinum in such a short time. he is certainly not low class.

History of the word: "angmo"
if an angmo knows how to speak hokien, he certainly has the brains to act mature enough not to spew hokien vulgarites that are the most hurting, unless neccessary. unlike some singaporean chinese especially who say it on purpose to offend ppl and to 'act' gangster which is uncool and low class. angmo itself is already a hokien word too.
In past feudal China, the Emperor considers himself as the "Son of God" and his country as the "most civilized country" in the world. Their first interaction with outsiders were from the Persia area. Because their skin has been somewhat "sunburnt", hence these "barbarians" are referred to as "Hong Mao" (Red skin).
As time evolved, the word "Hong Mao", literally translated into Hokkien is "ang" (Red) and "mo" (Skin/Hair) and hence "angmo". "angmo" itself did not start out as a Hokkien word. Please do not have this misunderstanding.
I think the only Hokkien words you know are "KNNBCCB" and "NLB".....hence I cannot fault your misconception of Hokkien though it's clear you do not have any wish to further your understanding of the language and clear your misconception. For that, you've failed in life. Go and die now. Thank you very much!

you are biased against the chinese race as well...
as least subconciously... -
i really HATE my school to the core. its infested with hokien speaking gangsters. i used to have a friend who hardly speaks hokien and im going along well with him but not until recently as he became influenced by bad company and started to speak more and more hokien even to the extent of calling me names in hokien. because of this i have severed all ties with him and i have lost a friend. i do not wish to lose more friends

So, I see, your "friend" started to use more hokkien. Did she use "hokkien" to reject you or something? That's why you have this prejudice against the Hokkien language.....?Originally posted by daphne_1802:i really HATE my school to the core. its infested with hokien speaking gangsters. i used to have a friend who hardly speaks hokien and im going along well with him but not until recently as he became influenced by bad company and started to speak more and more hokien even to the extent of calling me names in hokien. because of this i have severed all ties with him and i have lost a friend. i do not wish to lose more friends

To say that cursing in English is cooler than vernacular Hokkien puts you in the league of minors.To quote Eminem and Britney Spears shows your ambition to appeal to white trash America and consumerism addled superficial Asians.Originally posted by CoolMyth:English expletives > Hokkien language?

50 cent does not speak good english but at least he isnt low class. his rapping skills is comparable to eminem whom i think is better than him. how is 50 cent linked with the speak good english compaignOriginally posted by LazerLordz:To say that cursing in English is cooler than vernacular Hokkien puts you in the league of minors.To quote Eminem and Britney Spears shows your ambition to appeal to white trash America and consumerism addled superficial Asians.

Go bleach yourself and migrate.
Hope your nose dont drop off..... -
i wouldnt want to even think about that. my o level results are fucked up enough for me to choose this thrashy jc that isn't in the top 5. it doesnt matter which jc that is, im positive there are at least three other jcs that are almost or just as bad as mine in this aspect - too many ppl speaking hokien widely. what is worrying is that i will be having my chinese oral exams next week and i'll be hearing more of the cursed hokien language when they 'practice' for the oral examOriginally posted by CoolMyth:What JC is that? -
i speak hokkien with english to my friends for convenience sake.but does it affect my english NO..so why should i care..if it doesn't sound like music to your ears den move away from me,chances are the person beside you will most likely be doing the same thing..

Hmm, poor kentang girl to be stuck in a cheena JC.Originally posted by CoolMyth:What JC is that?
I had it worse alright..10yrs of being an ACSian and finding myself in Jurong Insitiute.But never did I whine.You still can be yourself.Ignore those people who make you irritated.But in the end it's about growing up and learning from around you.
I can speak a spattering of Malay now.And I am not so insular.
I think I know which JC she is referring to. -
