Re: New English....
A true one from my college...
One of my classmate's dad went to meet the hostel warden. Dad was staying in a faraway place and had to travel a long way. My classmate introduced his dad to the warden saying --" Sir This is my dad" The warden replied "How come"
Another gem from the saying guy. He was a lecturer too and was unable to control the class. He said --" If you do like this, I will show you my this thing" We are still trying to figure out what he meant by "This Thing"
This guy used to take a lot of leaves and was never regular. One he made a statement
" Even though I am not taking classes, my portions are in front of everybody". To understand what he meant translate this statement to your mother tongue.
