Karim’s mess-ups in this catawampus language!

  1. When I first came to this country, friendly Americans would ask me, “How do you like it so far?” I would say, “Yeah, its pretty far”.
  2. I walked in on two friends one time and they were laughing. I said, “Are you guys cutting the cheese?” I meant to say, “Are you cutting up”.
  3. I was on a shoot in San Diego once, looking out of the hotel window at the Coronado’s Islands, I asked my friend, “Are those islands inhibited?”
  4. On the same San Diego shoot, and after eating yummy Gnocchi dumplings at a fancy Italian restaurant, I asked the waiter, “Do you have any more nucci?” Without any hesitation he replied, “Let me see if we offer that.
  5. One night I walked to the bathroom and stumped my ‘chin’ on the bed.
  6. “Feel how smooth my shin in?” I said once to me Ex.
  7. On the way to Chicago during my first year in America, I asked my friend, “When are we getting to Indian-poe-lis?”
  8. During my first Christmas, I loved the song: Gloria, especially the part where you say, “Gloria in a Chelsea Stable”.
  9. At a gas station one time, the rude guy behind the counter called me “boy”. I said, “I am not a boy sir”. He replied, “Themsis faiten words”. I smiled and walked out.
  10. I used to love how they pulled the rain on horses.
