Torpedo

November 17, 2009

tags: Food, Idiosyncrasies, Languages

One of my friends told me about her naïve friend who wanted to order for torpedo soup without knowing exactly what it was. While her other friends were giggling, she asked a male waiter about it. He was so embarrassed, probably thinking, “How the hell should I tell this ignorant little girl that torpedo soup is bull’s penis soup?” Some words, when you think of them in a different layer, can be as dangerous as a torpedo.

  Merujuk kepada komen Fuad Zakarshi (UM & BH 8 Februari 2012) yang mencadangkan agar saya ditarbiyah semula atas sebab enggan memberi komen terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim atas isu negara Israel.
