A college buddy of mine who was born and raised in Mexico and spoke perfect Spanish was light skinned and had sandy hair. He use to work construction during the summers. He would arrive on work site and work for a week before speaking Spanish revealing to his Mexican coworkers that he understood everything that was spoken about him much to their chagrin.
Oh yeah, what you got to know when letting them speak being chauvis and double sense humor...and at the end you make them blush, because you not only speak Spanish you beat them on their own dirty often vulgar humor. I love the faces when THEY feel then like a naked, exposed piece of meat. 😈 Oh, once I got me a delicious revenge! In public transportation there are sometimes those guys, that if you stand they pass illegaly close to you so you feel their 🍆 I got sooo p...., but! 😈 that day I had a purse of fabric, and it kind of had the same shape and I thought could feel the same. So when I was to getting out, I passed this s.o.b. and let HIM feel right between 🍑 the purse. His reaction! Hilarious! First turning around red of anger ready to punch “the guy“ in the face, and looking first shocked at me, recognising he did that same thing to me a few minutes ago, he flushed and got soooooo small! 💪 possibly he still wonders “how damn good my sirgeon was, who changed me to woman“ but left something from the past 😂😂😂😂 Never being sure of what it was. Just a purse 😂😂😂 Hope he still is traumatized and has never done that ever again. LOL, and in Guadalajara you never know. 😈😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@abhcoatExactly, for example ,actor Kevin Alejandro looks typical Irish or Dutch. Also. many people from Middle-East, Greece, Turkey , Armenia etc may be mistaken for Latinos.
Yes, I have lived pretty much the same experience. Most of Turkish people can't tell I'm Turkish, and they usually believe I am italian, Romanian, Greek, Jewish etc... And funny situations happen...
They're still in the airport from a flight from Africa, in the baggage caroussel sections, bags from Africa. What arw the chances that people who have thses bags are from Africa and knows Afrikaans. Geeez...
I had a similar situation. I was on a bus in Los Angeles with my brother. We both are Polish, speak it fluently. Across from us was this guy who looked like a blonder shrek. We where kids and we are ripping into this guy for a good minute. As the bus pulls up to a stop, the man gets up and very politely in Polish tells us in that what we said about him was very hurtful. I wanted to implode from my shame. Since that day I never talked wrong about another person in my native language in public. The word is a small place, I will carry that shame for the rest of my life.
We had a supermarket cashier who looked like Shrek's Fiona, only not green. She had another name, but one of us called her Fiona by mistake. She was visibly sad. Call your polish guy, they can get married😅
I definitely accidentally said some hurtful things to people when I was young, just because I literally didn’t think before I spoke or didn’t understand the gravity or implications of my words. Have wrongly and unfairly judged people as well. I can remember a handful of occasions like that where I really stuck my foot in my mouth or hurt someone with my judgement and words on accident when I was young. The shame I remember is uncomfortable for sure but honestly, I try not to hold it against myself. I was young and still learning. Yes those moments were bad and make me embarrassed to remember but I think overall I learned to be more conscious of my words, give people a chance and try my best to not be cruel. The shame is only useful if it allows you to grow for the better, otherwise it’s just useless and self-victimizing really…
I had a white female coworker at Panasonic who knew Japanese. She was in the break room when two executives visiting from headquarters walked in. As she was pouring a cup of coffee she heard them comment about her. She turned around and speaking in Japanese said "thanks i do have a nice ass". Shocked they were.
A lot Japanese men have no shame in having that macho sexist personality. And other ists. I'm strictly speaking Japanese born men, although some Japanese-Americans are not as crude, they too often veer on the conservative side.

And if negatives do come out (like the long toxic work culture), it's usually seen as a positive fault.

The important lesson here: if you hear someone speaking rudely/hurtfully about you or someone else, that's about them, their poor social skills, their lack of character, their shallowness and has nothing to do with you or any other recipients. Feel sorry for them, pray for them, but let their rude remarks roll off your back. The only opinion that matters is what your Heavenly Creator thinks about you!
Sound coincidence, they took flight from Africa to new York. Still in the airport with luggage. C'mon, It's not like their flight only have two passengers inside.😂

@@lynettefinnigan9540his comment was not they were in Africa but they came from Africa direct flight... meaning the probablility of someone understanding upped 10 fold...
Afrikaans is based on Dutch (because of colonization). NYC was built as a Dutch colony in the 17th century and therefore still a lot of people at least understand Dutch. Pretty much like in the former Dutch colony in South Africa, too, where she grew up. Based on that I'm surprised she - being in NY - was surprised about him understanding her. 😂
NY was built as a Dutch colony in the 17th century as "New Amsterdam". It was only renamed into "New York" after the Brits captivated the city. Therefore a lot people in NYC probably still at least understand or even speak Dutch. When you were on a flight to the Netherlands from the US, I wouldn't be surprised about some Dutch speaking people on that flight, either. 😃
@@summersun6536sorry wrong. Most mother tongues are lost after 2 to 3 generations. The greatest population of Dutch speaking people came in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They settled in Michigan and Iowa. To find native Dutch speaking people today is rare. If so they are quite old.
@@inke825? I'm sure there are people from the Netherlands in every state. Probably most countries. NY population is about 20 mil. What point you trying to make?
In NY, never take it for granted that people do not understand your language. Especially in the airport - at a baggage pickup for a flight that already has two people speaking that language. Odds are, they were on your flight from SAfrica
@@summersun6536 in college in Boston i actually had a chance to learn Dutch and at least know what it sounded like. While waiting tables, I had a party that ordered in British accents, maybe more Aussie, but as I walked away they started conversing in something like Dutch. Rather than let them insult me in Afrikaans, I asked they were from South Africa. That surprised & pleased them and they stayed in English for the rest of the meal and left a good tip.
@@fifi2go the same way they understand Dutch “for the most part”. Dutch say they are happy that Germans think they understand Dutch (as a joke). I have heard that Namibian German and Afrikaans migrated toward each other from the interaction between the two minorities in southern Africa
It’s like Welsh old ladies on the bus complaining about your shirt skirts and makeup … but they forget that the teaching of the Welsh language is now compulsory in schools …
I'm french. I speak english, spanish and Italian. I can converse with portuguese speaking people. They'd speak portuguese, and I spanish. Also understand and speak basic berberian languages from Algeria and Morroco, and Arabic. Never assume that people around you do not understand the language you speak in . I've been in quite a few awkward or funny situations. I got caught once, taught me a lesson. And I was the "victim" at least a dozen times.
I can totally relate, because i'm italian and i speak the same languages (apart from the berberian and arabic ones, absolutely no clue on those unfortunately). I also have basic/medium understanding of a couple of asian languages and i can read one of them, even if my speaking skills are very, VERY low on that front 😂
Thats so funny. I've been insulted in American Sign Language. I used to interpret for people. When they realized that I understood it all. They were so embarrassed. Then I excused myself and left. Very politely.
You gave grace when you didn't have to. That's pretty awesome. Good human stuff. Proud of you. Didn't need to make a nasty remark. You just let them know it was understood. That alone was enough for them to feel deeply ashamed (hoepfully) and then humbled. I'm glad you took the high road. Fine work, my friend. Fine work. 😇
I'm Haitian American. In Haiti, the two languages are French and Creole. Creole is like an offshoot of French. Mostly Haitian people speak Creole, though there are people from Martinique, Guadalupe, Seychelles, French Guiana, Saint Martin, and St. Lucia who speak Creole as a 2nd language. Me, I'm mistaken for anything other then Haitian. Aquiline nose, long straight Rock N Roll hair, and olive complexion. Get mistaken for Arab, Latino, or Indian. I have had numbers of occasions with Haitians talking shit about me in Creole (and they don't know I'm Haitian too). Most of the time, I don't even respond.
It used to happened to me in Thailand when I was there as a black man, they never expected to speak their language and they used to tease me, when reply with their own language they used to get embarrassed. Even though Thai people are nice people, but it was fun
I’m Dutch and what she says in Afrikaans (Ik kan alles horen wat jullie zeggen hoor) could easily be a Dutch sentence. Only one or two words are placed in a different order and a little other pronunciation.
This happened to me but in reverse. I speak catalan which is a weird language few people speak. I was in a plane from India to Sri Lanka ( so... not even inside Europe) and by chance I found 2 women speaking in catalan. They were screaming and talking about very very private things, thinking none would understand there 😅 They didnt roast me thou
Your language is widely spoken in Barcelona and all instructors are in Catalan and Spanish! I had a hard time figuring out which was which. BTW, I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 and my home language is Afrikaans. I spent 4 months in Barca about a year and a half ago.
@@carollakay2911 yes it's true everyone speaks catalan in Barcelona, actually education in Catalonia region is just in catalan not in spanish so all schools are in catalan, many things in tv etc. But still Catalonia is a small region in the world, with many foreigners living there I very rarely meet catalan people while traveling. I am glad you had a good time in Barcelona, South Africa must be amazing I can't wait to travel there!
That Afrikaans sounds like Stellenbosch Afrikaans. I am impressed how she switched from true Afrikaans with accent back to American accent so fluently. No stop or break.
Hahaha that's a good one. I live in Thailand and guess what? My neighbours are from South Africa and they would have understood it too (I'm from the Netherlands and can understand 80% Afrikaans).
I worked internationally for many years. Two things I learned: 1) Watch what you say because there might be someone who understands. 2) As Americans, many are at a loss when it comes to other cultures and especially languages. For example, my parents seldom left their home state and never heard another language until I started learning Spanish.
My dad was in Cedar Sinai Hospital, in L.A., very sick. My mom was very depressed and my husband was teasing her, to cheer her up. As we got on the elevator to go his floor, he plucked her kerchief off her head and held it above her so she couldn't reach it. My mom, who never swore, let out a Hungarian swear word and the lady behind her giggled and said. "Oh, you're Magyar!" 😂 SO BUSTED!
Rule of thumb: Never assume strangers don't know your language nor speak the languages you speak. A similar experience by my older brother enroute to our Asian country though he's already a Canadian citizen, this male airport staff at Vancouver airport was rudely talking to the older Japanese women thinking they didn't know English. My brother who is a Certified Public Accountant, MBA holder from an illustrious university in our country, and used to work at World Health Organization with a high position, faced the Canadian airport staff and told that staff why was he rude and yelling to those women just because the women couldn't understand him. He ought to be helpful because his job was dealing with customer service, and he could leave it for more efficient and helpful staffs. That staff was so red and embarrassed because everything he said was understood by my brother.
Don’t forget how rude the Asian staff are to whites in their nail salons. They have derogatory comments about their customers right in front of them with NO shame.

You never know... My first fiance and I were carrying on an intimate discussion in Dutch on a flight to Dallas of all places. After we landed, the gentleman sitting next to us stood, grabbed his bag from the overhead, and in perfect Dutch wished us a wonderful life together. Edit: It was thirty-five years ago. Today you can turn Google translator on and get a readout of what somebody next to you is saying.
In my limited experience as a 70 something geezer, I've noticed that some women of my European heritage become more beautiful as they age beyond their mid 30s. Charlize was always drop dead gorgeous but at 48 she's more stunning than ever! Andie McDowell is another who aged from quirky attractive to fabulous over the past few decades, in my opinion. She's now 65 and certainly looked 35 at 55 a decade ago. She's probably even better now! In her 20s I thought that Nicole Kidman was oddly juvenile looking but now in her mid 50s, she more fabulous looking than ever! Much more significantly, all of those women are brilliant artists, are extremely intelligent both intellectually and emotionally, and are strong powerful presences!

3% is a huge percentage and if you add the Dutch and the Flamandes as well plus many Germans you will get an even higher percentage. My actual language is spoken by less than million people which will make a percentage less than 0,0125% and still wherever I go in the world I bump into my people. So I would not go around insulting others
I had a friend in high-school who spoke Afrikaans and he had a habit of cussing people out in class without anyone knowing what he was saying, because he’d use a a friendly tone of voice Forgot our maths teacher also spoke it, so that was a detention lol
A blond blue eyed beautiful girlfriend was with me one day when some arab men began saying something about her, I had no idea as I don't speak arabic BUT my friend did and her blushing told me something was going on. Before we left the train she bent over and said something in their language that totally shocked them ! I asked what she said and she replied that she told them that their mother must have been fukced by a jackal to produce such dogs.

The important lesson here: if you hear someone speaking rudely/hurtfully about you or someone else, that's about them, their poor social skills, their lack of character, their shallowness and has nothing to do with you or any other recipients. Feel sorry for them, pray for them, but let their rude remarks roll off your back. The only opinion that matters is what your Heavenly Creator thinks about you!
Sound coincidence, they took flight from Africa to new York. Still in the airport with luggage. C'mon, It's not like their flight only have two passengers inside.😂
shows how stupid they were. 😂😂
No..she said they were Not in Africa...so rare to be next to someone talking a small percentage of the language used in the world...but if he was rude, he probably needed to hear it!!
@@lynettefinnigan9540they have same carousel so 99.9% chance they are in same flight and both South Africans. Charlize is dumb
@@lynettefinnigan9540his comment was not they were in Africa but they came from Africa direct flight... meaning the probablility of someone understanding upped 10 fold...
Afrikaans is based on Dutch (because of colonization). NYC was built as a Dutch colony in the 17th century and therefore still a lot of people at least understand Dutch. Pretty much like in the former Dutch colony in South Africa, too, where she grew up. Based on that I'm surprised she - being in NY - was surprised about him understanding her. 😂
Funny, I made a comment in Dutch to a woman on a flight from Chicago. And she turned around and answered me in Dutch.
NY was built as a Dutch colony in the 17th century as "New Amsterdam". It was only renamed into "New York" after the Brits captivated the city. Therefore a lot people in NYC probably still at least understand or even speak Dutch. When you were on a flight to the Netherlands from the US, I wouldn't be surprised about some Dutch speaking people on that flight, either. 😃
@@summersun6536sorry wrong. Most mother tongues are lost after 2 to 3 generations. The greatest population of Dutch speaking people came in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They settled in Michigan and Iowa. To find native Dutch speaking people today is rare. If so they are quite old.
@@wanderer2522 There are some in New York, but they came from The Netherlands or other countries where dutch is the first language.
@@inke825? I'm sure there are people from the Netherlands in every state. Probably most countries. NY population is about 20 mil. What point you trying to make?
@@summersun6536no. Just no.
In NY, never take it for granted that people do not understand your language. Especially in the airport - at a baggage pickup for a flight that already has two people speaking that language. Odds are, they were on your flight from SAfrica
I was looking for your common sense
True. Particularly Afrikaans, since it is based on Dutch (because of colonization), and NY was built as a Dutch colony, too.
@@summersun6536 in college in Boston i actually had a chance to learn Dutch and at least know what it sounded like. While waiting tables, I had a party that ordered in British accents, maybe more Aussie, but as I walked away they started conversing in something like Dutch. Rather than let them insult me in Afrikaans, I asked they were from South Africa. That surprised & pleased them and they stayed in English for the rest of the meal and left a good tip.
Germans understand Afrikaans for the most part.
@@fifi2go the same way they understand Dutch “for the most part”. Dutch say they are happy that Germans think they understand Dutch (as a joke). I have heard that Namibian German and Afrikaans migrated toward each other from the interaction between the two minorities in southern Africa
It’s like Welsh old ladies on the bus complaining about your shirt skirts and makeup … but they forget that the teaching of the Welsh language is now compulsory in schools …
As a Dutch guy I can understand most of it as well.
Oh, and New York is originally build by the Dutch. They often call it, New Amsterdam.
I'm french. I speak english, spanish and Italian. I can converse with portuguese speaking people. They'd speak portuguese, and I spanish. Also understand and speak basic berberian languages from Algeria and Morroco, and Arabic. Never assume that people around you do not understand the language you speak in . I've been in quite a few awkward or funny situations. I got caught once, taught me a lesson. And I was the "victim" at least a dozen times.
I really can relate to that. That's what I love about being multi-lingual. 😂
I can totally relate, because i'm italian and i speak the same languages (apart from the berberian and arabic ones, absolutely no clue on those unfortunately). I also have basic/medium understanding of a couple of asian languages and i can read one of them, even if my speaking skills are very, VERY low on that front 😂
Thats so funny.
I've been insulted in American Sign Language. I used to interpret for people. When they realized that I understood it all. They were so embarrassed. Then I excused myself and left. Very politely.
😂😂😂❤
Who is they?
❤
You gave grace when you didn't have to. That's pretty awesome. Good human stuff. Proud of you. Didn't need to make a nasty remark. You just let them know it was understood. That alone was enough for them to feel deeply ashamed (hoepfully) and then humbled. I'm glad you took the high road. Fine work, my friend. Fine work. 😇
i would have left as well just not as politely ... im petty
Dutch, Flemish, Afrikaans.
All mutually intelligible. Flemish is a lot more breathy because the Belgians talk with their mouths full of hot waffle
Lol
I'm Dutch and needed to read to subtitles to understand the phrase she said
😂
Afrikaans sounds smoothier than Dutch.
I'm Haitian American. In Haiti, the two languages are French and Creole. Creole is like an offshoot of French. Mostly Haitian people speak Creole, though there are people from Martinique, Guadalupe, Seychelles, French Guiana, Saint Martin, and St. Lucia who speak Creole as a 2nd language. Me, I'm mistaken for anything other then Haitian. Aquiline nose, long straight Rock N Roll hair, and olive complexion. Get mistaken for Arab, Latino, or Indian. I have had numbers of occasions with Haitians talking shit about me in Creole (and they don't know I'm Haitian too). Most of the time, I don't even respond.
good on you for escaping that hellhole
When he said he understood what they said i would have been like "ohh, i hope you did"
It used to happened to me in Thailand when I was there as a black man, they never expected to speak their language and they used to tease me, when reply with their own language they used to get embarrassed. Even though Thai people are nice people, but it was fun
You were there as a black man? You mean, like a disguise?

Yours is the first comment I came across.

What does it mean?
@@sigilfredogaleano6568Google it 😉
I’ve never heard of AB, and I think I already know more than I need to know.
I’m Dutch and what she says in Afrikaans (Ik kan alles horen wat jullie zeggen hoor) could easily be a Dutch sentence. Only one or two words are placed in a different order and a little other pronunciation.
This happened to me but in reverse. I speak catalan which is a weird language few people speak.
I was in a plane from India to Sri Lanka ( so... not even inside Europe) and by chance I found 2 women speaking in catalan.
They were screaming and talking about very very private things, thinking none would understand there 😅
They didnt roast me thou
Your language is widely spoken in Barcelona and all instructors are in Catalan and Spanish! I had a hard time figuring out which was which. BTW, I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 and my home language is Afrikaans. I spent 4 months in Barca about a year and a half ago.
@@carollakay2911 yes it's true everyone speaks catalan in Barcelona, actually education in Catalonia region is just in catalan not in spanish so all schools are in catalan, many things in tv etc.
But still Catalonia is a small region in the world, with many foreigners living there I very rarely meet catalan people while traveling.
I am glad you had a good time in Barcelona, South Africa must be amazing I can't wait to travel there!
I'm that % of Afrikaans speakers...and she was most probably waiting for South African Airways 🧳 luggage..with other South Africans 😅
What did she say?
Exactly.
That Afrikaans sounds like Stellenbosch Afrikaans. I am impressed how she switched from true Afrikaans with accent back to American accent so fluently. No stop or break.
Klink fokken aansitterig. 😂
Hahaha that's a good one. I live in Thailand and guess what? My neighbours are from South Africa and they would have understood it too (I'm from the Netherlands and can understand 80% Afrikaans).
Just learn Dutch you will have no problemen any more 😂
I worked internationally for many years. Two things I learned: 1) Watch what you say because there might be someone who understands. 2) As Americans, many are at a loss when it comes to other cultures and especially languages. For example, my parents seldom left their home state and never heard another language until I started learning Spanish.
My dad was in Cedar Sinai Hospital, in L.A., very sick. My mom was very depressed and my husband was teasing her, to cheer her up. As we got on the elevator to go his floor, he plucked her kerchief off her head and held it above her so she couldn't reach it. My mom, who never swore, let out a Hungarian swear word and the lady behind her giggled and said. "Oh, you're Magyar!" 😂 SO BUSTED!
You and your mother sound very classy😂
Rule of thumb: Never assume strangers don't know your language nor speak the languages you speak. A similar experience by my older brother enroute to our Asian country though he's already a Canadian citizen, this male airport staff at Vancouver airport was rudely talking to the older Japanese women thinking they didn't know English. My brother who is a Certified Public Accountant, MBA holder from an illustrious university in our country, and used to work at World Health Organization with a high position, faced the Canadian airport staff and told that staff why was he rude and yelling to those women just because the women couldn't understand him. He ought to be helpful because his job was dealing with customer service, and he could leave it for more efficient and helpful staffs. That staff was so red and embarrassed because everything he said was understood by my brother.
w.h.o. Is a joke they are a bunch of dumb money hungry idiots
Don’t forget how rude the Asian staff are to whites in their nail salons. They have derogatory comments about their customers right in front of them with NO shame.
afrikaans for most they are super nice and never rude!! I had the best experience with them in South Africa but yes humans are humans no one is perfect!!
What do you call a person who speaks only one language ??? --------- an American.
😂😂😂😂😂
😄😄😄
That’s totally unfair. They could also be British or Australian ;)
sadly i agree with that statement...and i'm aBrit!@@timeodaneosetdona
Because we already speak the worlds most important language.
In fairness, it would be closer to 50% on your aircraft from South Africa to New York that would speak Africaans!
Who said the plane was coming from SA? Only the destination was mentioned, don't be fooled by her mother being with her as her mother also lives in LA these days, they could just as easily in fact more likely to be flying from LA as Jo'burg or Cape Town
So she gets out of a flight from SA to NY and is surprised someone picking up luggage from the same flight is south african. What a genius
Just lands in NY from Africa...
Shocked that someone else who flew from Africa could also be there...😂
"yeah"
apparently, the % increases when youre looking at rude people
lol

To be fair, im swedish i could probably understand the General sentiment of a discussion in afrikaans. Same with german, dutsch, icelandic, norwegian, danish.
Some of that may be true.
Dutch speakers here and I find Swedish and other Scandinavian languages are quite different esp when spoken quickly
you are in New York, the most diverse city in the world, if there's a place where one might speak afrikaans outside of S.A. that's new york 😂
This is why I love learning different languages 😂
It’s basically Dutch can understand 80% of Afrikaans
No chance that guy was on the same plane with them coming from SA 😅
You never know... My first fiance and I were carrying on an intimate discussion in Dutch on a flight to Dallas of all places. After we landed, the gentleman sitting next to us stood, grabbed his bag from the overhead, and in perfect Dutch wished us a wonderful life together.
Edit: It was thirty-five years ago. Today you can turn Google translator on and get a readout of what somebody next to you is saying.
Imagine saying 'like' 10 times in a 3 sentence span
Apparently, she learned English by watching American TV when she was younger. It shows.

If you see someone that rude, assume they're South African

Afrikaans language is old and kind of a reversed Dutch.
And in south Africa they also speak their own tribal languages
Wow no shit they speak there tribal language
Afrikaans is a relatively new language. It's based on Dutch, but is not "reversed" anything.
There are 11 official languages in South Africa.
Gawd she’s looking even better than I remember her in anything here?
In my limited experience as a 70 something geezer, I've noticed that some women of my European heritage become more beautiful as they age beyond their mid 30s.
Charlize was always drop dead gorgeous but at 48 she's more stunning than ever!
Andie McDowell is another who aged from quirky attractive to fabulous over the past few decades, in my opinion. She's now 65 and certainly looked 35 at 55 a decade ago. She's probably even better now!
In her 20s I thought that Nicole Kidman was oddly juvenile looking but now in her mid 50s, she more fabulous looking than ever!
Much more significantly, all of those women are brilliant artists, are extremely intelligent both intellectually and emotionally, and are strong powerful presences!

17million Dutch people can understand Afrikaans too.
Dutch can barely understand Afrikaans, only a few words
3% is a huge percentage and if you add the Dutch and the Flamandes as well plus many Germans you will get an even higher percentage. My actual language is spoken by less than million people which will make a percentage less than 0,0125% and still wherever I go in the world I bump into my people. So I would not go around insulting others
Never assume people speak only 1 language. Most people outside America know at least 3-5 languages, out of necessity.
I had a friend in high-school who spoke Afrikaans and he had a habit of cussing people out in class without anyone knowing what he was saying, because he’d use a a friendly tone of voice
Forgot our maths teacher also spoke it, so that was a detention lol

A blond blue eyed beautiful girlfriend was with me one day when some arab men began saying something about her, I had no idea as I don't speak arabic BUT my friend did and her blushing told me something was going on. Before we left the train she bent over and said something in their language that totally shocked them ! I asked what she said and she replied that she told them that their mother must have been fukced by a jackal to produce such dogs.
240 million people speak Afrikaans? Even if you included Dutch and Flams, you'd still be a long way from that. Maybe you meant .3%?
She absolutely has no idea what 3% of the world population means lol
Lotsa likes in that conversation! It's like she likes the word like!!
