Its funnier when you’re speaking a language that is a minority language in your region, like immigrant families for example

they’re like, stop saying it.

Um…

so…

Nobody here speaks Cantonese or Taisahnese, y’all are the only ones that I speak it to, who the hell did I learn it from? 👀

    Swap Cantonese and Taishanese with Venetian, and that’s basically my mum. Although she speaks Portuguese (local language) natively, a good chunk of her family is colonials from Veneto, so she got bits of the language… including swear words.

    Then she complains when I use those very swear words I could not have learnt from anyone but her. While using those words. *sigh*

    For example. Last week, one of my cats vomited on the floor. And given my poor sight, I may or may not have stepped on it, with a bare foot. And the following conversation happened (Venetian words in italics):

    • [Me] Ma que casso do caralho, quem que foi a porcona??? (Wha’ a dick from the dick, who was the swine who did this?)
    • [Mum, to me] Ô seu tronso, cê se tá com o casso na boca? (Hey you shit, are you with the dick in the mouth?)
