yau  +  112770 Sun, 26 Jun 05 11:52 PM great topic! I've experienced many embarassment in using wrong words at wrong places. When i saw a dump on the road, I urged my friend not to step on "shit". When I wanted to say "pussy" (not sure if there's more general term), i said "cuxt", and the laughing exploded! But I'm still not sure, when I asked "where's the toliet?", some stared at me so strangely, kept suppressing their laugh, and repeated "you..want toliet?" Now I said restroom or washroom, but what's wrong with toliet? What about loo? Is it obsolete today? yau Joined on Sat, Jun 4 2005 New Member 30
