good morning teacher....

English teacher, by my mum & her classmates:

good morning sir-pent
according to my mum he really looked like one

Chinese teacher, by me & my primary school classmates:

老师找ang1
lao3 shi1 zhao3 ang1 = teacher looking for husband (翁 ang1 in Teochew), a play on lao3 shi1 zao3 an1 老师早安

Bahasa Melayu teacher, by my dad & his classmates:

sii2 ah1 ma4 pa4 hi4 jia4 gu2
dead grandma hit that cow (死 ah mah 打那只牛 in dialect), inspired by someone's lousy pronounciation of selamat pagi cikgu

some things run in my family ;)
