Heard on the Heights--Back in Old Country

Who says BC isn't diverse? A week of classes can feel like a trip through the "countries of the world" at Epcot. I've had broken-English professors from France, Iran, Turkey, India, South Boston, and even Jewlandia (my roommate)...and I regularly experience the pleasure of hearing their Borat-style idioms and butchered English language. Here are a few that I deemed worthy to write down in class not knowing that they would later be fodder for my blog:

"this blow minding!"

"every man has different way of eating goat"

"this called 'voting with feet'"

"no drink for you!"
-I was hoping he would correct himself and change his example to "no soup for you"

"you all my son and daughter!"

"I really fotched this graph"
-I must admit, this teacher was actually American. Maybe he truly did somehow "fire crotch" the problem instead of "botching" it like a true American

There will CERTAINLY be more of this to come

Beam me up scottie!

When you listen into peoples conversations (sometimes obviously, like myself, or sometimes a little more slyly) you tend to hear the most entertaining things.

Case in point: While sitting comfortably in hillside this fine morning (yo prof thanks for getting the flu), enjoying the ultimate bitch drink, SSFVL, with my friend Daggins a fine blue collar middle age maintenance man turns to his friend to say:

"I'm like that alien that gets back on the starship and says 'screw those earthlings, there's nothing you can do for them."

I hope that's not in reference to me,  but even so bud, the Star Trek years are long gone. 

And as I have no shame in listening in, I will continue to  provide you with snip its of many conversations that are "overheard"on the heights.
