A project manager and I had lunch with our visiting Indonesian professor, who leaves today.
While eating, he announced that he had just learned a new phrase to take back with him. We asked what it was, and he replied, "Holy shit!"
I laughed while the project manager (who is from China) gasped and said, "Oh no, don't say that! That's very bad!"
I suggested that he use "oh my goodness!" instead. So, we practiced how to say it a few different ways.
I'm pretty sure that the professor will still take back "holy shit" because, you know, it's so much funner to say.

ok. this is on the wrong post, but you recently had a duck omlette. it freaks me. I know that the eggs must have been from a chicken, but since ducks also lay eggs it kind of creeps me out. I don't know why. it just does.
