I may not be an expert in the English language, but I certainly do know enough not to sound like an idiot.
Lesson:
Hashbrown, not HUSH-brown. LOL (hush puppies want?)
Untuck, not TUCK OUT.
For eg. He likes to tuck out his shirt leh
Accent, not SLANG, when used to describe a person who speaks like an ang moh
For eg.
I hate his fucking slang, trying to act like ang morh sia
or
Wah lau why you talk got slang one?
Slang is a word(usually rude) used in place of a proper word to describe something.
Examples of slangs
Penis: Dick; Prick; Stick
Chinese: Chinaman; Chink
Breasts: Tits; boobs; globes
I think you get my drift.
StRawberry, not STAW-Berry
Subtle: Pronounced as sut-ter, not SUB-TER. The B is silent.
similarly,
Doubt: pronounced as DOUT, not DUBT.
Debt: You guessed it, DET
Got it?
That's fabulous
