Hear No Evil
One of my pet peeves is someone trying hard to speak in English (even when they're obviously having such a dang time) just to impress. I'd rather you speak to me in Tagalog or Taglish or however way you're more comfortable than try to talk to me in gibberish. Am I mean? It's just that sometimes one's patience can be stretched to its' limit. Cases in point are these "classics" which I'm pretty sure most of you would've come across at one time or another:
"Guys, let's call it tonight!"
"All of a suddenly..."
"C'mon! Let's get it on with it!"
"When it rains, it's four."
"Thanks God!"
"The nerves!" or "The nerd!"
"The idea crossed at the back of my mind."
"(name of person), eat your hat out!"
"This is our rooster of clients..."
"The more the manyer."
"It's a no-win-win situation."
"Burn the bridge when you get there."
"Anulled and void."
"Mute and academic."
"C'mon let's join us!"
"If worse comes to shove."
"Are you joking my leg?"
"It's not my problem anymore, it's your problem anymore."
"What are friends are for?"
"You can never can tell."
"Well well well. Look do we have here!"
"Let's give them a big hand of applause."
"Been there, been that."
"Forget it about it."
"Give him the benefit of the daw."
"It's a blessing in the sky."
"Right there and right then."
"Where'd you came from?"
"Take things first at a time."
"You're barking at the wrong dog."
"You want to have your cake and bake it too."
"First and for all."
"Now and there."
"I'm only human nature."
"The sky's the langit."
"That's what I'm talking about it."
"One of these days is not like the other."
"So far, so good, so far."
"Time is of the elements."
"In the wink of an eye."
"The feeling is actual."
"For all intense and purposes."
"I ran into some errands."
"Hi. I'm (state your name), what's yours?"
"What is the world is coming to?"
"What is the next that is?"
"Get the most of both worlds."
"Bahala na sila sa mga batman nila."
"Whatever you say so."
"Base-to-base casis."
"My answers have been prayered."
"Please me alone!"
"It's as brand as new."
"So... what's a beautiful girl like you?...."
"I can't take it anymore of this!"
"Are you sure ka na ba?"
"Can't you just cut me some slacks?"
"I couldn't care a damn!"
"What's your next class before this?"
"Nothing in this world is perfect except the word change."
"Can you repeat that for the second time around once more from the top? Translation: Ulitin natin hanggang mamatay tayo.)
"My dad brought home a lot of hand-me-downs!" Translation: Daming pasalubong ng tatay ko.

"I'm sorry, my boss just passed away." Translation: Kakadaan lang ng boss nya.
"Hello, my boss is out of town, would you like to wait?"
"What happened after the erection of Mayon volcano?"
"Don't touch me not!"
"Hello,..for a while, please hang yourself..."
"It's spilled milk under the bridge."
"Don't change anything! Keep it at ease."
"Hello McDo, mag-i-inquire lang ako kung magkano ang kidney meal?"
"Out of fit ako these days e..." Translation: Di sya nakakapag-exercise.
"Bring down the house down!"
