    The Mandarin Chinese phrases ”谢谢“ and “泄泻” are pronounced in almost the same exact same manner; both are pronounced “xie-xie”, but the former only has one harshly pronounced “xie”, whereas in the latter both are stressed. The first phrase is the most common way to say “Thank you” in Mandarin Chinese. The second means “diarrhea”.

    Know the difference.

    All I know is that Mandarin is a lie. It's probably just a front for something else.

    I say thank you out of my mount just about as fluidly as diarrhea leaves the other side.
