The INGERISH

Sometimes, the english language makes me laugh.. so much so, that this pass few days I have been gathering some common phrases in the english world (those who have me in their facebook, would understand =D).. anyway.. these are a few sentences that we normally use that sometimes does not make sense.. plus some smart come backs that you wish you could say..

1) Not back yet?.. well obviously, me standing here is just another fragment of your imagination..
2) Are you all right?.. No, Its just normal for me to tear up when I accidently stab my toe...
3) I know exactly how you feel... well, to say exactly is abit impossible, counting on the place and the time, and how things happen..
4) You look sick.. gee thanks, as if me coughing and sneezing my brains out was not obvious enough..
5).. it actually means... so if it actually means that, than why doesn't it just say that??

Paradoxically English

English is a very peculiar language that I will grant

E.g. there’s no ham in hamburger or egg in the eggplant

Many foreign visitors never quite manage to grapple

With the fact that there is no pine or apple in a pineapple

English muffins were not invented in England in fact

And French fries were not invented in France to be exact

But if foreigners can’t understand us I don’t give a fig

If a guinea pig is not from Guinea and its not even a pig

So what if Quicksand takes you down slowly, who cares?

And does it matter if the Boxing rings are really squares
