"Who the fuck do you think you are" means "I'm going to flirt with every guy I see today and also probably tomorrow" | ||

He said the person must have written something wrong as the sentence doesn't make sense formally (although in colloquial Cantonese it might make sense) he thinks she meant to say "你以为你是谁？！“ or "你以为你是哪个人？！“ Both which translate roughly into: "who the hell do you think you are?" just reply and say "你不三不四“ =O haha the relationship will become worse from that line but isn't "不三不四" mean indecisive? which doesn't really apply in this case (unless the context was the OP asking for XXX or something) ^^ | ||

Some people relate it to prostitutes or idiocy, but I think the official definitions are: "1. dubious; indecent 2. nondescript; neither fish, flesh nor fowl" | ||

1. Continually raise voice throughout the arguement. 2. If you are leaving, take steps away slowly while continuing to argue. 3. If you are eating at a restaurant and she tries to pay punch her in the face and pin her while you hand your card to the waiter. 4. If you are really desperate tell her she isn't part of your family anymore. I dunno, my grandpa does this all the time when he's mad even if they aren't part of his family already lol. 5. You probably don't even need a reason to argue in cantonese. | ||

I am so happy I could understand that. Yet so sad I can speak, write and read retarded Cantonese Chinese. Anyway, that guy was a complete faggot. In all my years going to HK, I've never seen anything like that in public except in films. Probably triad | ||

In all my years going to HK, I've never seen anything like that in public except in films. Probably triad I've seen some pretty funny things. Such as a woman arguing over 10 metres with a mini-bus driver. Actually I think my family can be very aggressive too haha, my dad would yell at those people who pester you on the street trying to sell you stuff. I also remember my uncle shouting at an impatient driver and of course there's occasional arguing with taxi drivers. Most people tend to leave me alone though, and look surprised when I speak cantonese. For some reason hong kong people say I look like a halfie. | ||
