I think it's very polite of the cab driver to give his regards to the mother and family of the other driver.

[@JasonLeongComedy]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@stolennimbus]

@@JasonLeongComedy Look at it this way, the driver who honked at the taxi must be in a hurry. The taxi driver, being the polite gentleman, allowed the other driver to pass and told him to "Delay no more!"

[@sarahyip2825]

​@@stolennimbusOops. "Delay no more" is crazily close sounding! But I am pretty sure the audience were tickled crazy NOT by the string of meaningless expletives but bcoz someone ie Jason has the audacity to say them on stage. Using the "taxi driver" as mouthpiece! The translation was really naughty bcoz expletives carry no real meaning other than the swear-er mouthing his passing angst! Foul words for foul moods-nothing new mah. Jason's comedic talent aside, would he recycle this in another format? 🙄 Hope he is done with HK taxi drivers and all things foul to serve up to his captive audiences 😉

[@mcp3187]

F ur mom is a warm regard to someone mother. Your whole family die is a subjective description about a man who lost his whole family. Nothing rude about it. Btw born and raised in HK.

As a Malaysian who knows 5 languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Malay, Hakka), I can attest that Cantonese is the best language for swearing. It is very expressive and versatile, it sounds funny and rude at the same time.

[@tikthat6821]

[@samchan3240]

Malaysia are world number two racist country. They are unfriendly peoples

[@lightspeedrescue]

Cantonese vulgarities are expressive because the entire spew of profanities starts with taking in as much air as possible deep into your diaphragm before you start. The entire sentence must be equally loud or you immediately lose the fight because your aura(氣勢) is weak

[@TheAaronwhc]

Until you meet a Hakka

[@tikthat6821]

@TheAaronwhc Hakka is insane in swearing. I have met 2 totally different types of Hakkas. The very civilized and the insanely vulgar where every sentence has at least 2 'f' words

[@yiyinyu9679]

"Diu Lay"(fuck you) in Cantonese is such a versatile word, you can use it like the driver to express anger, in the same time you can use it to greet your close friends.

I used to take taxis in hk nearly every day. I came across the following memorable drivers: -one could speak French. He was born in Cambodia. -one has the surname Rodriquez. (Cos their name Card/cert needs to be displayed on the lhs of the dashboard). His father was a S. American seaman. -one has the surname Mohammed and he looks mixed rather than entirely Chinese. -one carried dozens of photo albums in the front seat and let you look at them. Then contained photos of the driver with many celebs cos he used to part-time in the movie set. -one was more like a professional tour guide and Hk ambassador. He was so friendly and professional that we won a Best HK Taxi Drive award! -many are hidden gurus/sifu/masters in Taoism, Buddhism, qigong, martial arts, UFO phenomenon, metaphysical pursuits! -some used to be executives / proprietors but due economic downturn they changed careers. -so many of them are so nice and friendly -there were a few damaged souls who are from hell as in everywhere

[@airypotty]

To Hongkongers, you have to speak Cantonese if you are Chinese. Once in a Chinese restaurant in London, a waiter started speaking to me in Cantonese. I said I don't speak Cantonese. After taking down my order in English, he asked me if I wanted chopsticks or knife and fork.😮

[@maggie_857]

This guy is scarstic!

[@chloeching627]

​@@maggie_857 As a Hong Konger, almost all Chinese people who lived there speak cantonese. It is an government official language and it is what majority speaks which is a part of the culture itself. If you are a 'Chinese' (Singaporean Chinese/American born Chinese/Mainlanders...) and you don't speak Cantonese, it is likely that other Hong Kongers/waiter working in the Chinese restaurant in London don't want to 'assume' your background so they would ask if you want to use chopsticks or knife and fork, because some people just don't prefer using chopsticks to eat Chinese food even for chinese people. I prefer to use knife and fork for Chinese noddles as well, I only use chopsticks because I don't want to annoy the waiter. It is just the waiter being considerate.

[@airypotty]

@chloeching627 The name of the restaurant is Wong Kei and it was back in the 80s. I think they were the original rude restaurant. You needed to be there to understand the context.

[@whunnoi]

Wong Kei restaurant: thanks to Lonely Planet, people flocked there due to the cheaply priced menu and to experience how rude they are!

[@dliang4628]

What the FORK!!!!

[@kindface]

Yup, that’s HK alright. Nothing is personal; the curses are almost just perfunctory. So foreigners and tourists who criticise HKers for being rude and/or racists simply haven’t lived there long enough to get it.

[@sarahyip2825]

Perfunctory. Exactly! The translation was both meaningless and naughty. Kinda like shock therapy to build up to the punchline 😉

[@leealex24]

Actually, it is just the culture. Like one popular saying "You eat glass from birth ah?"

[@kindface]

@@sarahyip2825 Absolutely right. You’d agree, it’s hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t lived in HK long enough.

The person behind started cussing at me (DLLM, f u etc bilingual styles) to move in further when there was literally no more space and I was already squished against someone else. I took a cab and the driver kept saying some xenophobic shit thinking I was a mainlander, as if that would make it any better. The apartment I rented had bedbugs and the landlord was like oh well too bad. The only good thing about the entire country is Maxim Palace dim sum. Not a single person was helpful, everyone's too busy in their own world to help with any questions or directions.

In the 1980s, London Chinatown was still populated mainly by Hong Kongers.

A friend asked me if I understood Hakka and why they were fighting. As my mum was Hakka, I understood what they were saying and told my friends, oh, they were just having a friendly conversation. Try listening to Hakka people talking to each other and if you don't understand Hakka, you really would think that they were have an argument :)
