" I GUT U GUT "

Want to share with all of you a joke. It happened a few weeks ago.

After taking our breakfast in Queensbay Mall, my nephew, Zixuan and I strolled around the mall, looking at staff opening their shops and arranging their displays. Soon, we came upon the Giodano outlet. As usual, come Chinese New Year, Giodano will come up with special creations for this auspicious occasion. This year is a big mandarin printed on the front of the unisex ts.

This is our conversation........

Myself : Hey Xuan look at these t-shirts, this year Giodano uses Malay language.
"IGUT UGUT" .... I know the word UGUT but is there such a word as IGUT?
I never heard of it before.


Zixuan : (laughed until he almost roll on the floor) Tua ee, this is English. You
read it as "I GOOD YOU GOOD". This is how we spell when we sms and chat
online.


My goodness!! GUT is pronounce as g^t in English and has an entirely different meaning from GOOD. No wonder the children's English Language is so terrible these days.
