You want to really throw people off?
When they ask you how you are doing, smile real big (you should be doing this already) and go, "A HELL WHOLE OF A LOT BETTER THAN YOU!"
And then just keep walking without making eye contact like they never existed in the first place.

kOna..sorry man..that's just dumb..."Hi" is normal everyday american english...and has been for a longtime..what? I gotta police what I say bc of someone's perceived insult of everyday common language? Bullshit.
Hey, I go to Japan and am very careful not to use "Hi" in that context, not only because it's potentially offensive I suppose but also it's confusing...but fuck that..you're in America and this guy got upset for saying "Hi??"
Dude deserved a beating.
Reminds me of the time when we got into a brawl because we were eating in a chinese restuarant and my friend was trying to describe a sound and said "ching ching"..the people at the next table starting shouting at us "Why ar eyou using racial remarks!" and we're like WTF are you talking about? We're talking about the sound of an instrument!" And they're like "You're calling us chinks!" Well, lets say calm heads did not prevail and it got ugly.
The funny part was, we were an interracial group of people (white, black, latino and asian) and they were three chinese dudes sitting in a fucking chinese restuarant and they wanted to school us on "being bigots"...

completely agree theblueone.
i don't know, maybe the dude was having a bad morning or something and was looking for someone to take it out on. i say 'howdy' to him now all the time. i'm trying to be 'extra american' for him. haha.
dude, your story is awesome! haha. some people are just too fucking sensitive these days.

this would throw me off too considering that I'd interpret that as "A HELLHOLE OF A LOT BETTER THAN YOU" as opposed to "A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN YOU"flavorful = satan
it's that simple,

That said..it is a mindfield out there with this stuff, especially if your intent really is NOT to offend anyone..oh man, I started saying some stupid shit over dinner the other night with this other couple that are friends of ours of South Asian descent, and I said something stupid, and then I tried to explain my way out of how it sounded, and it kept getting worse until my wife kicked me under the table...and I wasn't trying to be offensive or racial, but I still feel stupid about it..

TBO - did you offend them or just assume that you offended them? did they give you a look or something?

I have a bad habit of walking around and saying "konichiwa" or "konichiwa bitches" (thanks to GZA from the Racial Draft skit on Chappelle's Show).
that could be viewed as offensive on several levels I guess.

(May 11 07, 11:02)Wasn't really offensive, more like uncomfortable and possibly heading towards offensive...yeah, I think they were getting uncomfortable, but as I was trying to explain away how offensive it potentially sounded I wasn't picking up on the clues, hence the wife's kick under the table...
You know, when you have an idea in your head that kinda works, but then, when you throw it out into the light of day it kind of lays there like a mishappen sad thing that you wish you didn't thrust into the light? It was along those lines...

hahaha yea kOna. Most of them "hate to love it" or whatever, but I imagine we wouldn’t hang out if they did not on some level enjoy my antics.
I may be going out to Chicago by the way! I think I may try to go to the Pitchfork Festival to see the New Pornographers, I will let you know. Finding a jerk to go out there with me may prove difficult, though I am working on a girl that lives there tomorrow on the subject at my cousin’s graduation party, haha.

how 'bout chief?
boss?
mang?
cousin?
nephew?
young blood?
I like to call my whitest-of-whitebread friends 'young blood'.
I have a buddy, 3 yrs younger than me, who calls chicks 'gals'. I'm 5 seconds from punching him in the ear next time that word comes out of his mouth. Nobody under the age of 70 outside of Nebraska should use that word.

I like chief...chief works..
Oh wait...will that be offensive to a native american?
