I had a crush on a guy in my early 20’s at uni. He was from a different country and his English at the time wasn’t great. So me being all friendly and wanting to make a good impression tried to learn from a mutual friend how to say “hello” (I think- this was 20years avo) in his language/dialect (a Chinese dialect), so anyway fast forward a week and I’m at his house with 2 friends (also Chinese) and my crush walks in……. So I smile and say “Gum Xia” or something andddddddddd he looks shocked then laughs, and my friend laughs…………. Turns out that I used the wrong tone AND slightly wrong word (think “Gum Xiiao” instead of “Gum Xia”)
And what I ACTUALLY said translates to either “Lick Sh*t” or “Eat Sp3rm”……… either one, NOT something I wanted to say to my crush!
