1. hmmm (thoughtful..)
2. Hmmmm..(skeptical)
3. Hmm..(cynical)
4. Humh (acceptance..)
5. Hmmmm lets wait and see what happens now...
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm.. reminds me of this Crash Test Dummies song.
P.S Dennis was an old boss of mine. Big guy, Filipino. Hair long and braided down to his waist. He's walking down Galle Face at night with one of his girlfriends. The hangers on at Galle face approach him (''cos you know that Chinese girls have a bad reputation..').
'Hey Brother!' they say
'Naaah, i dont think we share the same mother'..
'Hey Pal!' they try again..
'Naaah i don't think you and me are friends'
Dennis walks into dine-mor with a bunch of guys. They convince him that the appropriate way of addressing a waiter in Sri Lanka is to say 'ponnaya'. Dennis gets hungry and tired of the late service. It's the busy lunch hour and he has to yell and so yes the rest is obvious...
Dennis in the training room. His always calm disposition is awry today because a new top guy, self proclaimed nigga from the Projects (a Mr. Herb 'Chop-from-the-top' Kimble), is getting on everyones nerves.
Reza is sitting next to me. He is concentrating hard as Dennis lets loose his tirade. His chin is resting on his fist as his index finger taps on his lips. then suddenly
'Yeah Reza, f*** you too!'
Reza is dumbstruck. He's confused, realizes what may have gone wrong and manages a shaky..
'But Dennis, i was holding this finger' while holding up the offending article for all to see.
Dennis = non-plussed.
So What? in the Philipines THIS means f*** off!
i am yet to figure out the truth of this.

And apparently, in Australia, the pinky-finger gesture made at a man rudely implies that he has a small.. manthing. :|

Angel - yeah, he's a cool guy. i think he's back in the Philipines now. Probably showing his pinky to people who understand what it means!
Fallen - Yeah Reza was using his index finger. And Dennis was trying to say that it doesn't really matter what finger it is, it could be a rude hand gesture on some place on this planet. he was more than a bit pissed at the time u see..
