Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I remember in NYC I was like 2nd grade or 3rd grade and I remember coming up with this very obscure phrase with my Cantonese classmates

"Flower Bridge"

Flower = 花 faa; Bridge = 橋 kiu; faakiu --> sounds like "fuuckyou"; we said it because curse words weren't allowed in school (obviously) and us being silly kids just laugh at it so fucking much lmao, fun times

Also I fucking hate some teachers that would give "assigned seats" ffs. I wanna choose sit with "my people", not a bunch of gwailous that I could barely communicate with.

also tagging @NorthWestWind@lemmy.world for the lolz

We would've probably have had so much fun if you were there with us lol. (it was 2010s for context)
