Jabber's English Note

jabber(jabber)
It is gross! You are gross!


Many of us consume chicken feet. If you try to recommend this Chinese dish to Westerners, you probably will hear something like "It's gross!".
Anything that can make people unpleasant can be said gross. If you talk about chittelings (the intestines of hogs), don't expect any positive response from your Canadian or American friends. The reason is simple: You are gross!

A few weeks ago, I had my 8-year-old son circumcised. Because he is very active, he had a very poor recovery. The cut has some discharges and his pant smells. At our follow-up visit to the urologist, the doctor sneezed his nose and said: "Hiew! It is gross!"

Well, people may say: "Jabber is gross!". Why, because he talked about some gross stuff. The question is: "Who else is gross here?"

    • Me of course. I even dare not to participate the Christmas party of rolia, haha. By the way it should be chitterlings. I remember when the airecraft staff of US was detained in Hainan, they complained they were -pyramid(㊣金字塔); 2002-11-29 {197} (#885373@0)
      served with chicken feet and fishheads and I posted a long argument article on MSN to explain that by the right condiments, correct process and exact strength of heating, they are really delicious.
      • Honestly speaking, I have no way to remember the correct spelling. -jabber(jabber); 2002-12-2 (#889654@0)
        • Actually, your English is still one of the best on rolia. I want to let you attend the TOEFL test in name of me. :) -pyramid(㊣金字塔); 2002-12-2 (#889937@0)
    • sometimes we would admit everybody is gross rather than agree it, just to maintain a kind of balance in a kind of society, don't we? -songl(我爱春天,我爱阳光); 2002-11-29 (#885401@0)
    • Why had your son circumcised? It's not good for him when he grows up. -reis(李嘉欣); 2002-11-29 (#885431@0)
