Kausai

My Dad was telling my sis and me the other day about how someone could get influenced by friends and colleagues. He was saying that before his married days, he was posted to this small town called Teluk Intan for work. He rented a room from this guy and apparently, they had to talk to each other a lot coz both were single. This guy used to end every of his sentence with the word 'kau sai' (dog shit). Eventually, my Dad picked it up from him and started to end everything he said with 'kau sai' too.

This is probably their morning conversation to each other:

D: Good morning, 'kau sai'.

F: Hey, good morning, 'kau sai'.

D: So, what are you having for breakfast, 'kau sai'.

F: Aiya, nothing much la, 'kau sai'.

D: Smells delicious tough. Where did you buy it from, 'kau sai'?

F: Aiya from that stall nearby la, 'kau sai'. The one that you pass by every day, 'kau sai'. You dunno meh, 'kau sai'?

D: How would I know if it tastes good or not, 'kau sai'. No one's told me to try, 'kau sai'.

F: You should try, kau sai! It really tastes good, kau sai!

.....no offence to anyone.....
