An example of what I mean:
I, in China, told an English speaking Chinese friend I needed to stop off in the bathroom to “take a shit.”
He looked appalled and after I asked why he had that look, he asked what I was going to do with someone’s shit.
I had not laughed so hard in a while, and it totally makes sense.
I explained it was an expression for pooping, and he comes back with, “wouldn’t that be giving a shit?”
I then got to explain that to give a shit means you care and I realized how fucked some of our expressions are.
What misunderstandings made you laugh?
On smartphones you can tap and hold, and on physical keyboards there’s usually an alt key combo you can put in.
they’re disabled and the last time i needed it was years ago; i also didn’t turn it back on to use it back then as well. lol
even on my phone; it’s more convenient to just switch languages than find that character. jeje
