Ian_Lee Posted March 17, 2005 at 07:41 PM Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 at 07:41 PM Does anybody find that many Japanese and Korean words and phrases sound like Cantonese dirty words? Whenever I hear some Japanese ladies say: "Hai! DooMoo." I can't help laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
