Chee Bye Here, Chee Bye There, Chee Bye Everywhere
One of the perks (or bane) of living in such a heavily populated country like Singapore is the fact that we can be almost anywhere and hear conversations of strangers even if we don’t want to.
I was on the train with KuKuNehNeh (KKNN) on our way to Ang Mo Kio via the North South Line and somewhere along the trip, a group of 3 teenage girls boarded the cabin along with the 1,653,428,201,737 passengers that were already inside with us. They stood next to us and were talking pretty loudly and drowned most of the chatter around them. KKNN became very quiet and there is no prize for me to guess that she was listening intently at the girls conversation.
I cannot accurately replicate what they said but it went along something like this…
Girl A: “CHEE BYE LAR! I cannot stand it leh. CHEE BYE!”
Girl B: “What lar CHEE BYE?”
Girl C: “Angry for what CHEE BYE?”
Girl A: “Fucking CHEE BYE! I just cannot stand his CHEE BYE face lar! Chao CHEE BYE!”
Girl B: “Ya lar, I know lar… He is a one bloody CHEE BYE.
Girl A: “The next time I see his CHEE BYE face, I am going to slap his Chao CHEE BYE!!! Cheeeeeee Byeeeeee~~”
Most Singaporeans will be very appalled by the use of their language but I am thoroughly amused. ‘Chee Bye‘ is just a Hokkien word for ‘Vagina‘. So, the above dialogue actually goes like….
Girl A: “VAGINA! I cannot stand it. VAGINA!!”
Girl B: “What VAGINA?”
Girl C: “Angry for what VAGINA?”
Girl A: “Fucking VAGINA! I just cannot stand his VAGINA face! Smelly VAGINA!”
Girl B: “Ya, I know… He is a one bloody VAGINA.
Girl A: “The next time I see his VAGINA face, I am going to slap his Smelly VAGINA!!! Vaginaaaaaaaaaaa~~”
Not much of a foul conversation anymore is it? WAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!

Usually I’ll just turn up the volume on my mp3 when such conversations happens around me. IMO, they need vocabulary classes.

You and KKNN should start some “penis” conversation at that time.

leshane aka KKNN> They weren’t actually scolding. Just calling out too much. :p

hahaha, i don’t mean to dampen this post, but i suspect that “cheebye” is to “vagina” what “cunt” is to “vagina”
i might be wrong.

brian> Okay, I get your point. It might seem derogatory compared to using the word ‘vagina’
