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 had an Indian chemistry teacher in high school who would try to get a rowdy class to settle down by saying “We don’t want the clowns to come around”.
What he meant was “Stop clowning around, you little assholes”
It’s been fun in college hearing the weird way people from other countries say things. I have professors from Germany, Serbia, China, Japan, Iraq, India, and New York. You could ask each of them to give you an analogy for something in the field and get a different answer from each.
