That’s mean


Marmalade Kitchen

It’s no good to make fun of people when they mispronounce things. It’s the bad English karma, you know, where you end up mispronouncing something the same way as the person you’ve made fun of.

I’m talking about when people say, ‘that’s mean‘, in this context:

“This thing is very complicated. That’s mean I find it very difficult to do”.

Get what I mean?

Yes? Well, then, that’s mean you are very clever.

Today, I was told to make a reservation at the Marmalade Kitchen, so I laughed and said, ‘Marmalade Pantry’ lah, before calling up Marmalade Pantry and asking if it was the Marmalade Kitchen.

That’s mean I was laughed at right back.

  1. here we are now with the desperate youth and the pain

    Ah finally! Someone speaks aboutthis. On a certain party not having enough money to do a certain thing in flats: Mum: Then why does the (certain other non-opposition party) have enough money? Dad: Of course they have. Mum: And where does their money come from?

    One of the housemates is doing an early termination on her lease and moving out in two weeks. On one hand, I want to jump for joy becausethat’s mean one less messy person to tahan, but on the other hand, she’s someone who was really nice to get to know. Strangely I think the anal side in me will bulldoze every other feeling out of the way when push comes to shove. So what else is new? 😉

    reminded me again of my experience in Paragon, Bangkok when a waitress responded “soli, citkhen is closed”. I laughed non-stop for minutes, of course not in front of the tired lady.

    Muahaha! Got to know this gal who makes the same mistake… Everytime she says “that’s mean”, I got to do a quick assessment if she meant “that is mean”.
