    in cantonese slang, yee-maah which is the word for period. in usual conversation it is the word for auntie, which ties into the euphemism.

    "you wanna hang out today?" "

    "I can't my auntie is here".

    .true story.

    Your aunite's name wouldn't happen to be "Flo", would it? <bazinga>

    Wile E. Coyote once actually caught the roadrunner, then held up a sign asking the viewers, "Okay guys, I caught him. What now?"
    I saw that ep. He held up that sign because he was shrunked down to the size of the RR's foot.
