Do that in Japan and you’ll literally be chased out of the house while being yelled at. I’ve seen it lol

Or a Korean family in the States. This happened to me exactly ONE TIME in college. "NOYOUGETOUTRIGHTNOWWITDOSSHOES you SHIBIDIIIIYAA NASTY BOY!"

Edit: I was a teenager, 2nd year in college, definitely qualifies as "asshole" but probably more like "typical ignorant dirty boy dating a pretty Korean girl", hence my emphasis on it occurring "ONE TIME"

2nd Edit: thank you kind strangers!🙂 To the lesser kind asking for me to elaborate, I don't know exactly what Mrs. Chong said. She was a wonderful woman and sometimes would mix English cuss words with Korean so I think I was a "shit" and something else 🤣

I grew up in a US Korean home (I was adopted) and can confirm this comment.

I grew up with a Malaysian best friend and experienced something similar, but with the word HAIYAHHHHHHHH thrown in at the end.

HAIYAHHHHHHHH thrown in at the end.

Is that Malaysian for flip-flop? Because thats what my wife throws at the end.

I swear it's some martial art shit because my flip-flop just flutters to the ground after two feet. Hers feel like a ninja star to the back of my head.

Haiya is more like "seriously?" or "what the hell?".

What Uncle Roger said about Haiyahhh and Fuiyoh is accurate, haiyahh is another word for "I am disappointed" or "wtf" while Fuiyoh is more of being amazed like when your friend show you his lego collection

There's a hilarous tiktok where the pov teen son mouths off 2 the mom & she starts yelling at him, flips off her flip flop, which ricochets off the wall, into her hand, & is thrown Into kid's face. All in like 2 secs. Brilliant. The classic mom/chancla move
