chih-isms

So I have a housemate named Chih. She's from Taiwan, really fun and cute. Partly because English isn't her first language and partly just because of her personality there are so many times when she says something and it's just really funny. She makes Marilyn (my roommate) and I laugh all the time. So I'm going to have a part of my blog dedicated to Chih-isms. Here are some of them that I can recall:

1) Chih's ghetto talk. She's been picking up on (mostly) North American slang ('it's all good', 'that's jacked up', etc.) so there'll be conversations like this:

Marilyn: Chih, let's go to KFC.
Chih: Word. (But she says it with this Chinese-British accent, so it sounds like 'Wohd'.)

2) The universal Chih response: 'Heh?'

3) Chih (in all seriousness): 'Earl Grey gives me bad dreams.'

4) Chih (to another housemate): 'Fee Ming, how to spell "retarded hand"?'
