Yep, or try mai pen rai Kon Lao when she's calmed down. I once got called a kwai by a copper for unintentionally jumping a red light on the treader (according to buddy who remained at lights)... but that was fair enough I guess.

In general, though, that type of talk is not good in this neck of da woods when one is not joking.

My ex wife used to called me Gorilla (silver back variety) for various reasons. As the relationship deteriorated, this moved to "sh!t mouth". Would have been quite happy to be called a buffalo.
