Manglish v Ausglish

Okerrrrr after nearly 2 years of studying in 'Straylan (Australian, pronounced in a local accent) Land', its high time for me to provide a word-for-word, or sentences translation for that matter. Yes, us Malaysians are known to KISS well. No, not lips to lips you perv..... it simply means Keep It Simple Stupid and this applies to how Malaysians generally simplify their choice of English words in a short and simple sentence as compared to their Western counterparts. Here goes folks, and I'll just pretend that my readers would still be around after not updating this blog for God knows how long lol.

Aussie: Hey, hows it goin' mate?/ What you've been up to?
Malaysian: Ssup/ yo!

A: Just pass over your number and I'll prank or text you or something...
M: Eh give number then I miss call or sms you....

A: I suppose this club is rather tacky!
M: Eh this club damn pariah lah!

A: Its a bloody fair dinkum shame!
M: Ya damn make shy!

A: I must say, I'm pretty stoked for the upcoming Champions League final. What do you reckon?
M: Eh, Champions League final damn kan cheong lah. You say leh?

A: Chips
M: Fries

A: Rice droplet noodles
M: Loh She Fun

A: May I have the RoarThee Egg, please?
M: Dei anneh, roti telur satu!

A: If I were to tell you that you have a nice body, would you hold it against me? *damn that rotten cunt who taught me this lol*
M: Eh, mau main arh? (HAHA!)

A: Hey, it seems like the weather's not bein' anal today. Are you keen for a kickabout at the park?
M: Eh weather damn nice. Wanna go padang to play football?

A: Man, I swear that cunt talks thrash all the time!
M: That fella like to talk cock everytime!

A: Lets grab ourselves some booze/grog for tonight cos we'll drink the night away!
M: JOM TANI TONITE!

A: Excuse me mate, would you care to spare me a ciggy?
M: Eh kawan, mintak rokok sebatang?

A: Excuse me driver, it seems like the person that you're supposed to pick is no longer waiting here. Would you mind moving on to pick other passengers?
M: Fuck off teksi!

A: Oy I heard Krispy Kremes has just opened in the CBD. Do you fancy grabbing some?
M: Oi doughnut mou?

A: I must say that bugger is full of himself.
M: He damn perasan.

A: Oh shite! Here comes the five-o! We're busted!
M: Alamak! Polis! Kantoi!

NO THIS IS NOT A FORWARDED ENTRY YOU MOFOS! I FUCKEN WROTE THIS BASED ON EXPERIENCE AND LOCAL KNOWLEDGE MMKAY!! Phew....raging felt good
