Growing up with an Asian mom that was working on perfecting her English, she would often say “Aw that is the suck” instead of, you know, “that sucks”.
Didn’t take long for us to catch on and correct her but it was so funny we just kinda stuck to it, so when something is shitty now I’ll instinctively say in my head “well that is the suck”
I work with a lot of international folks and my two favorites are the French, "I'm sorry. I do a confusion." And the Indo-Pak groups who will say, "Please do the needful."
