What's a nice way to tell my boss I hate him and would love to see him eaten by hyenas?
Well, in the southern vernacular, we tend to end a sentance with, "bless your heart" or "god love ya" which roughly translates, "you poor ignorant fuck" or "the only reason you're still alive is the miracle of modern medicine". I have told people, after explaining the painfully obvious, "Its a good thing you're cute." & just smile at them. They are too stupid to recognize it as an insult.
Give him a ticket to an African Safari tour and bribe the guides to leave him there.
Send him a text from the unemployment line - from duke's former boss.
Since the hyena is native to the East African plains, try telling him in Swahili.
"Mimi usipende wewe. Mimi nataka kuona mafisi kukula wewe."
Meaning for the illiterate please? Google translate has no word for
mafisi. ?
@FrayedBear "Fisi" is a hyena. Mafisi would be the term for hyenas in general.
@Petter Your knowledge surpasses Google.
@FrayedBear It's my native tongue. When I was small my parents had to speak to me in Swahili. I couldn't speak English.
@Petter the joy of having had a native wet nurse? It amazed me how fast babies learn words. After 2½ months in hospital my premmie born daughter was allowed home 2 weeks before her expected birthdate. By that time she could speak three words taught by the hospital staff. By the age of 18 months she could recite word perfectly, in time to my finger moving underneath the words, her favourite 2½ page long Thomas the Tank Engine story.
@FrayedBear She wasn't a "wet nurse" - I suckled on my mother. However, my African nanny looked after me whilst my parents worked and I learned her language. I also learned English from my parents. Later, I wandered amongst the farm hands for hours each day as I became truly bi-lingual, slipping from one tongue to the other without even realising it. Many of my friends were the same. We understood each other perfectly. Others would be confused!
@Petter A start to linguistics that I envy and I am still merely monolingual.
