Definition of banana

A banana is not only a fruit...it is also used to describe a person who don't understand mandarin and chinese dialects well. There are 3 types of bananas. A semi banana can speak, listen and read to a certain extent, as in when you scold them with foul words using dialect they get angry immediately. A full banana is those where you are literally talking to an "ang mo" from overseas. No offence here but when sometimes you use bad words on them with a polite tone and smile, they will think that you are greeting them and they will smile back. However, please don't ever underestimate their level of intelligence...there was once an incident where 2 indonesians were making fun of a german inside the bas. They said the german sitting opposite them looks like a monkey due to his bushy appearance. They talked and laughed so loud, totally ignoring the fact that the german was listening attentively without actually reacting. In the end, on his way out, the polite german said something back to them..."Monyet pun bisa cakap bahasa indonesia" Once again this is LEGEN...wait for it...wait for it...DARY! Bananas(the fruit or otherwise?)are actually good for digestion, you see them you will feel like going to toilet and start shitting...just banter...don't be offended.

On the other hand, a non banana or the so called cina-kia who don't use english as often as bananas is however prone to making such mistake as below...
Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan? (anyone)
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.
Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan!
Operator: You are talking to someone! Who is this?
Caller: I'm Sam Wan (someone) and I need to talk to Annie Wan! It's urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what's
this urgent matter about?
Caller: Well... just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noel Wan (no one) was
involved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured and now Noel Wan is being
sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan is on his way to the hospital.
Operator: Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then
the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't
have time for this!
Caller: You are so rude! Who are you?
Operator: I'm Saw Lee. (sorry)
Caller: Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!
So guys and girls...A banana should not be ashamed of his or her banananess...but a non banana should brush up his or her listening skills to avoid such mistakes again.
