Funny Bees

The following are utterances that were unintentionally humorous. Besides being erroneous, they offer the mind absurd images. Correcting them would be sinful!

(sharing a recipe) '.... then you chop the onions and smash the potatoes.'

'....add the chopped tomatoes and caspicum.'

'There is a force is There.' (a physics teacher long ago)

'Anu, you became so darky, you were so fairy.' (A North Indian relative.)

(Sitting down at the dining table) 'mmmm .... food! I am ravishing!'

'Bejaavo! Bejaavo!' (the P.E teacher who got locked in the gym. Mallu, of course.)

'I talking. He talking. Why you middle middle talking?' (another P.E teacher from another S.Indian state.)

'Kuch kuch hota hein.' ( My good friend, a Hindi-disabled physics teacher, looking into the eyes of the hindi speaking electrician, trying to explain that something weird happened each time some equipment was switched on)


'I am sure we will have good mammaries that we will go to and go back to.' (from a speech at a seminar)

'Her penis lost.' (from a student's note book.)

'The Nair families of Kerala followed the matriarchal system.' (a goal at my own post)

classic! :D Some of these verbal slip-ups have become so common now that I've even stopped noticing them. I no longer have even the remotest urge to giggle at "You have to enter through the backside."

Nice one there.

you could have included: "this this sir; up up sir; zwaing zip sir!"

and "Ammas kindees wellams kondaas!"

or "Even I can speak English: A, B, C, D . . . . "

What abt the telegram that read: "Raaji gave birth to a boy; boy is a girl!"

How abt: " . . . he works hardly . ."

I guess you have to stop some where.

our newly appointed chemistry teacher had come directly from the malluland..he's got such an authentic manglish that our giggles were/are never out of stock..seems like his accent has been embedded into our heads in a way that it's hard to spent 6 hours straight without mimicking him even if it is under his nose..
last year it was our sst teacher mr.britson saying "by who the wat the wen the"! and now it is mr.sojan with his "zo! w-wa-wat d-d--discussing and all? i not liking this and all..u r scientists and all..u must be systematic and all aayy..

Hey, It's good for you - Suppressing giggles will keep you awake in class, and you'll NEVER forget the lessons that get embedded in your head along with the accent :)
