No one pronounces the G in chingchi, so why does that make me an abcd if i spell it like it sounds! 
And I hate the crusty desi ppl here, i said “Assalamualaikum” to my cousins puhpo and she was like "salaam karna ata hai abh? " HAIN ??? 
and the other night i was at a mehndi n i was sitting nxt to my cousin talking to her (in urdu/punjabi 
), n her chachi started asking HER “usski bhai ke shaadi hogee?” stupid woman was asking my cousin about MY brother when she damn well heard me sppeaking urdu and she cuda asked me but nooo Another aunty says “wow you pray over there?”
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
sara, you just learnt that finding ignorant people is not hard.
You do not need to be mad at them, but rather you should laugh at their ignorance. I find it quite amusing sometimes. try it and perhaps you will like it.
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
I know. I've heard people over there say ridiculously moronic things. You could reply, but you'll get some comment about Westernized girls, so you might as well just ignore it and laugh it off.
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
then you must be EFG!!
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
The funniest thing was, I went to see my dadiyaal one day and the old women surrounded me and were like "waha to aap choti skirts pehn ti hoon ge" it was the randomist comment, I smiled ":)" and said, jee nahin, jaisi tarbeeyat hummari mam anai England mai ke hai - kum he lohg pakistan mai kar suk tai hoon gai" "Lakin agar aap nai mangvani hoon to hummai zaroor batahna" ":)" Remember to punctuate with a smile. It shuts them up. Be a meeti churri.

Hahahahhahahahhahahaha
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
Sara,
they are resentful people and nothing you would do would change their antics. Smile and move on knowing full well in your heart that they’d give an arm and a leg to live in the states. Or, you can take hiccy’s advice. Either way you’ll be fine.
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
Atleast you guys go from the US and the UK. Going from damn Afreeka they think we live in the friggin bush, so the questions and comments are of a different variety altogether. I remember once I was 10 yrs old and proceeded to sing the national anthem of Botswana in Tswana for my Khalas - needless to say they were very amused. Thank goodness SA plays cricket though - it helps the image.
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
U guys really pray over there ? 
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
Catwoman, i was watching Lord Of War with Nick Cage the other day. There is a desi girl in the movie as well who sorta of reminded me of you and made me wonder how you survice in the bush. :cb:
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
lol ppl there are a joke!
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
Singing in Tswana is better than Ruanda/Rundi, that'd be really embarassing.

Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
Make them visit you once… that’ll shut them all up :k: worked with me
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
I haven’t had the experience face to face yet because i haven’t been there in a long time, but i have had phone convos…
isntead of making me feel better, i get this sickening feeling and i can’t get the words out of my mind for a couple of days… Sometimes i feel that if I go back, i will avoid as many people as i can but thats not reality.
Maybe i will keep hicup’s idea in mind or the other: smile…
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!
they are not your next guli neighbours… Why would you bring em to the west just to convince them 
unless you have other plans…
Re: I AM NOT AN ABCD!!

These people wont call you ABCD, If they do then you can call back
*Abey chall ! 2 takkey ke mummy daddy, ajatey hian baat karney *
And for these aunties, they are so easy to takkle. You should have said
Arey kia bataoon auntee, ye ju bhai hai, isko hum ne bara samjhaya ke gori se shaadi na kar, tumhain kaheen ka nahi chorey gi, our phir chor de gi …
*Pakistan ja kar kisi Ghareeb our bewaqoof si auntee ki beti se shadi kar le *
Aap ko tu pata hai auntee, Amreeka ke naam pe tu in lalchi aunteyoon ki Raal behna shoro ho jati hai, phir hum ko eik adad noukrani bhi mil jaani thi 
…
*Lekin bhai nahi mana *
Keep the smile on your face and Pronounce the bold words by increasing the pitch in your voice and enjoy the changing color on the face of that person
Don’t get mad, get even :k:
