RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- 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
- Keep it clean and SFW

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)
