jaywalker Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I recall years ago, (I may have been mis-led) that one could say the same word 5 times in a row, in different tones, & it meant "The Brown Chicken Doesn't Crow on Fridays"...or something like that. I was trying to explain learning Thai vs Spanish to somebody & that thought came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
