neh you go!

ytd, as i was wif a close friend of mine,
the both of us were talking and suddenly,
it just struck me of a phenomenon,
that is specially tailored only in this cute homeland, singapore.

the word 'neh', is used even more often than
any other word or slang you can conceive..
and only in dis multi-racial community,
we've used 'neh' so much in a vast variant!

these are just some examples i came across..

a: eh, where's the thing ar?
b: neh.. (a slang for lazy-tongued 'there')

a: sian, i failed my paper..
b: neh mind la, try again lor. (a slang for 'nevermind')

a: now like lesser mamashops around ar?
b: yeah, the ah nehs are venturing into other businesses alr.
(a term used for a certain race)

the word 'neh' is also used throughout the generations.
when we were young,
we play catch, or when we wanna taunt somebody.
"neh ni neh ni poo poo!"

we also used the words 'neh neh' as a pet name
for the mammary glands of homosapiens.
and we even haf a term to be more precise!
just add 'pok' at the end of it..

sometimes, we use it to 'scold' somebody in affection.
you neh neh!
i even came across it in a name that pple coined for her.
'hanneh' (for the name, hannah)

i thought english was really amazing.
now, look at singlish..
i think we really ownage.
seriously!

okay, the last 2 lines in the above paragraph
wouldn't make any sense at all to westerner.
though they're english words,
but they don't exactly mean anything in its context!
