Tenjooberrymuds


I DID NOT THINK I WOULD GET WHAT TENJOOBERRYMUDS MEANT BUT BY THE TIME I READ THIS,I DO UNDER STAND WHAT IT MEANS..SEE IF YOU CAN TOO)!



I was recently in Sydney and decided to learn Vietnamese, so I could understand the check-outs at McDonalds. My next move is to learn Indian, so I can understand my doctors and the person that answers the phone when I have a warranty problem.


In order to continue getting-by in Australia we all need to learn the NEW English language! Practice by reading the following conversation until you are able to understand the term "TENJOOBERRYMUDS".


With a little patience, you'll be able to fit right in.



Now, here goes...


The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as a hotel guest and room-service somewhere in Australia .......


Room Service : "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."


Room Service: " Rye . Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish to oddor sunteen???"

Had to do some dealings with Telstra recently - the woman on the end of the phone was here in Australia, but her Asian accent was so "sing-song" it was really difficult to understand what she was saying - I had to keep asking her to repeat it.
