There is Something Wrong with My Chinese Delivery Place

I'm going with not hanging out with any at the moment 'spode.

I'm hanging the old CFM's up for a well deserved break, but you are at the top of my list when I am...well.....back on the horse, so to speak

If they are cursing in Chinese, who would know? Or has the influx of pirated American movies and gangsta rap made "fuck" the most heard word on the streets?

Firefly fans.

Little Pete's fencing coach told her he'd teach her some choice Hungarian, french, Russian, and Italian so she could plant the seed of doubt in directors heads when questionable calls are made.

I can see how curses and oaths, in a foreign language, spat out by someone holding a weapon, would be unnerving.

It also makes them wonder if the kid can understand them conspiring to cheat in their native tongue.

The directors would be foreign and of the same nationality? Are we talking about international competition here?

[Highjack Shield]Many directors are also coaches but are barred from that role during competition. If they share a language with your opponent, they might be tempted to skirt the rules. Right now Russians are the common foreigners because of the breakup of the Soviet sports system. The Hungarians are leftovers from '56. It would be more of an issue in international competition, but it could happen. A well-timed curse just might keep them honest.[/Highjack shield down]
