History MemesI’ve gotten similar reactions by busting out spanish as a white as fuck gringo. One guy was making fun of my accent and i asked him how many languages he spoke. Shut him up real quick.
The original ‘then everyone clapped’?
From a book called Orientations by Ronald Storrs from 1937
The archaic way of enumerating things in prose “two and ninety” is the best part. Perfect comedic reveal.
I think it's also used in archaic English 'four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie'
Ha, never learn Danish!
I once haggled over a hat with some street salesman in Arabic. Managed to take it down from 10 to 8 dirhams. Then I felt bad from haggling over 50 cents with a guy that probably ears in a year what I make in a week. I still have the hat though.
Nah. They love the haggle. And he most likely still made a nice profit. If they announce 10, you can bet they still turn a profit at 4.
Yes, it's a great game, and they like to play it (or to get paid more if you don't know the rules. I was in a souvenir store in Barcelona, and there was no price tag on Gaudi-themed clock.
Me: Excuse me, what is the price for this?
Salesguy: [with a voice that can be used to announce a khalif coming in] FIFFFF-TY EUROS!
Me: Oh..could it be twenty though?
S: [his eyes shine up, I know the game] Not less than thirty five!
Me: Could we go thirty five and throw this other thing in?
S: It's a deal
I'm leaving with some souvenirs, he is happy that he sold 15 euros worth of Chinese crap for 35, We're both thrilled by our sparring.
“fain” is new to me. This stupid language never ends.
you'd never get invited for coffee and smokes
fork
funk
Reminds me of my old blue collar job when we used to poke the new guy at work to see if they're on the level lol
