Crab Pot

See if you dare to do this...

Walk into a Japanese restaurant, and get a seat. Wait for the waitress to come to get your order.

And after she comes, tell her you wanna a "Kani Nabe" in a loud voice.

Yes.. the magic word is "KANI NABE"

And don't worry. Nothing will happen to you one... But in the event someone whack you up, that's your problem, not mine.

Anyway, if you know absoluting nothing about what's i am talking about, and you wanna know what the hell's is that, walk up to any guy standing in Geylang on sat night, stare at him straight in the face, and shout "Kani Nabe" in his face.

I gurantee you a few night's stay in the nearest hospital, or if you are lucky, you might even be sleeping alone in a small room, forever...

Yep. In Hokkien, that's a vagular language, but in Japanese, it's not. In Japanese, it's means "Crab Pot".

Kani = Crab.
Nabe = Pot.

So, you want crab served in a pot, tell the Japanese waitress, not the Hokkien waitress, "KANI NABE!!"

Anyway, in this modern world, where vagularies are being frowned upon, a world where gracious and manners counts, you can use it the other way round...

Like in these few cases below...


Perhaps, this also...



Imagine... the whole world would be better if everyone uses less vagular language, rite?? Just like the case below...


Well, ain't it sounds better??

Or even something bad happens to you... Instead of "Kani Nabe" from your mouth, something delicious come out...



Slurp!!

Or even the bleddy worst thing that can happen to you, especially you are in a rush...


Wouldn't your mind wander off to think about the delicious crab and forget about the bad things?

Hmmm...

CRAB POT!!! All these Crabs are making me hungry... Chilli Crab tonight, anyone??
