Being kicked in the groins by a big sudanese man. Fucking rocket launch.
I´m a finn..Don´t care how much pregnancy hurts.
It depends on a woman... Women nowadays have more dicks in them than Jenna Jameson because they want to whore like male, not realizing that it´s really not the same thing.
It takes effort to get laid when you are a male.
Anyhoo. So many dicks has permanently damaged the vaginal area. Women say that having a monster stuffed in their hole does not damage them but I´ll say that compare 35year old womans sarlaccss pit to a 18 year old womans tight little thing.

No idiom, but there was a woman in emergency that said her Kidney stones was worse than having a baby.Quote from: "Blue"
i have been told by others it's as bad also, or worse.
actually, what I wanna know has nothing to do with pregnancy, but I just try to make an example for it.

I think I understand what you are asking now jaysings..
It would depend on how they use it I suppose..
If someone says they can feel your pain either physical or emotional they are empathizing..
One might respond by by saying they appreciate the emotional support.

I believe he's describing a situation where a man or anybody who hasn't been pregnant couldn't understand what it's like. Perhaps the person is criticizing the pregnant woman for being a whiner, as if pregnancy isn't really a big deal.Quote from: "Romero"
An idiom could be: "You wouldn't understand. Being pregnant is like..."

Just curious, why are you so determined to find an expression to describe this situation? I struggle with English at times myself, but I don't really care if I have a saying in hand for every single situation. I can get by in most conversations, but I do NOT quite have native speaker fluency. I am perfect in every other way though. ;)

I can't think of any, sorry! Few men would dare criticize a pregnant woman for being a whiner. There would be a lot more hell to pay than just idioms.
The only idiom I know of a pregnant woman telling a man is "I hate you for what you've done to me".

I was born in Canada jaysings, but I returned to Taiwan very soon after I was born..
I returned to Canada four years later which means I never attended school in Taiwan..
Even though the Taiwanese dialect is my first language, it is not always grammatically correct because I never went to school in Taiwan..

I've been here since the first year of high school life was over in China. I was absent from learning English in at least 5 years because I was too chicken to face to it. I was afraid to be found loser who doesn't understand English, so I convinced myself that English was not important to me. lack of English in using has made me feel ashamed for a long time until I determined to retake up learning English three years ago.

RU fucking serious??? How the fuck is that even possible? My parents have strong accents, but fuck they are like Shakespeare compared to you. Dude, any first year high school student in Shanghai that has never been outside China can speak better English than you.
What about your parents, are they fluent yet in English? If so, why aren't they pushing you to do what you should have done a decade ago?

I already said that ffs! Why don't you go hire an ESL tutor or enroll in a class out on the coast. Lots to choose from and you'll meet people from everywhere. I would recommend a beginner's class.

How long have you lived in Canada jaysings?
10 years
RU fucking serious??? How the fuck is that even possible? My parents have strong accents, but fuck they are like Shakespeare compared to you. Dude, any first year high school student in Shanghai that has never been outside China can speak better English than you.

they don't understand English at all. am I as bad as your describing?
English tutor is no longer useful for me. I know a lot of grammatical rules, but I just cannot feel free to express myself

I could converse in English much better than you after 6 months in Canada. You have been here for a decade and don't understand the language?? That just boggles the mind.

Well I used to post on Asian forums, so crappy English online is nothing new to me. However, either this guy is indeed exaggerating how bad his English is or he's lying about how long he's been in Canada. No way he could have went to high school in Canada and not know the language. If that was the case then BC has the worst teachers in the world.

when did u come to Canada? Have u learnt English in your hometown in China? sadly, I did learnt nothing about English in my city, and I barely opened my mouth speaking English with anyone else because of it. if I had no fundamental knowledge of English, how could I understand what teachers were teaching at that time? I came to secondary school as soon as I set foot on Canada, and I was sent to ESL class after getting kicked out of the school. So we got in different situations

I came to Canada in 1993 and yes I studied English before I came here. My parents did too, so that we could take an active role in our new country. Why we would we deliberately exclude ourselves from experiencing the most of our new countries because of our own irresponsibility in not learning English?
BTW, your English seems a little better in this post. :?

I misread that word. look, let me make an assumption. u might be 9 years old if u came to Canada in 1993. learning English is not a big deal to any of teens under 12 because they are at the best time in learing anything new, and it is known as common sense. besides, u are living in Edmonton where Chinese are not as many as in Vancouver. I came to Canada at the age of 18 and knew nothing about English in my city (worked hard on Math and Science instead) I would be using Chinese here in the rest of my life if I wanted to; however, I told myself that I shouldn't live that way like a real loser. I realized how important English is three years ago and determined to improve it no matter what will stop me. I really don't think that my english is as bad as those ESL students at the beginning level.

I can't believe your parents made no effort to learn English before or after arriving. I also can't believe they didn't push you to learn English. My parents sure as hell did with me.
Anyway, better late than never I guess. Go nuts and learn as much as you can as quickly as you can. You have a lot of time to make up for, so you gotta study hard.

they don't understand English either. my father has gone back to China for his business, and my mother doesn't care about English at all. she lives well without using English here. Once she needs someone's help for reading letters in English or talking to English speakers in phone, it must be me. thus, will u believe that people who don't give a shit to English push their children to study English? if my realization came late, I never became a member of this forum.

My parents live in a mostly Mandarin speaking environment in Calgary too jaysings..
But, they can both read, write and speak English..
My parents would get my brother and I to fill out forms for them sometimes when we were younger, but they could do it themselves if they had to..
While I think Shen Li is being too critical, the English language should be a basic requirement of all immigrants unless it is elderly grandparents who will never participate in the workforce or drive a car..
Good luck with your efforts jaysings.

everyone has his/her story; my parents got different point of views from your parants', and the whole story would go differently even in a situation your parents struggled in.
maybe it's time to double check my writing before submitting it. it makes me exhausted, but it seems very important to do so in order that it can sound like educated person's work. I felt free to reply without thinking about grammar, but it turns out that my thought is wrong because u are no different from those on VF criticizing me of my English

Dude, don't ever compare me to that erratic old freak of nature Vesna and her loyal following of effeminate dunces. I have my own mind and yes I speak it freely. You may not like what I say sometimes, but if you can't handle even a little constructive criticism how the fuck do you expect to make it in life?
Post whatever you want and when you want. However, don't expect us to NOT tell you if we cannot understand what you are saying. However, I still think we are for the most part a lot nicer to you than the VF crowd ever was.

nothing changes even I take your criticism but only feel hurt. u didn't tell me that u didn't understand what I wrote. U could have told me where I made a mistake in my writing, but u didn't. I was trying to reply without thinking grammar and translating Chinese into English, and I believed that u wouldn't treat me like some did on VF. Even u asserted u are nicer to me than them, but I found your words are serious as same as their. your criticisms don't help me get aware of my fault because I knew what I did and was feeling regretful not to learn English as soon as I came here.

If I didn't trust u, I would be totally fine to handle your criticisms for sure.

People might not tell you they don't understand for a variety of reasons. That is their business whether they choose to respond or not. I also can't help how you perceive things Jay. If I understand what you mean and more importantly, I am INTERESTED in the topic I will take the time to post.
My English is far from perfect too ya know, especially when I get pissed off(which happens a lot). People will always criticize others, but ya gotta let it roll off of you like water off a duck's back(an idiom for ya). Nobody here deliberately teases you. I think we have a more civil tone here than on Vancouver Forum.

why didn't u point out my mistakes at times instead of telling me the truth? I knew it, and I'm not in a status of self-deception. your criticisms only work effectively on people who don't admit their faults. do u understand what different is between both?

Post whatever you want and when you want. However, don't expect us to NOT tell you if we cannot understand what you are saying. However, I still think we are for the most part a lot nicer to you than the VF crowd ever was.
If I didn't trust u, I would be totally fine to handle your criticisms for sure. I don't mind taking unpleasant but honest advices from anybody I don't care about. but once I feel free to express myself somewhere, I become sensitive at any of criticisms. thus, don't think that I'm not tough enough to take your criticisms
I am sorry, but every forum has people that criticize. I get criticized too. This one is not as bad as the churlishness of VF though.
u was suffering a lot from those jerks on VF doesn't mean u should be a jerk like them. while your influence is minor than their, u are still no different from them. u shouldn't treat people the way u don't wanna be treated

why didn't u point out my mistakes at timesinstead of telling me the truth? I knew it, and I'm not in a status of self-deception. your criticisms only work effectively on people who don't admit their faults. do u understand what different is between both?
Jay, I'm an engineer not an ESL teacher. As I told you if the topic is interesting to me, I will respond. If I don't understand a post in an interesting topic, I will request clarification. Srsly, I don't know what you are getting so defensive about?

everyone has his/her story; my parents got different point of views from your parants', and the whole would go different totally even in a situation your parents struggled in.
maybe it's time to double check my writing before submitting it. it makes me exhausted, but it seems very important to do so in order that it can sound like educated person's work. I felt free to reply without thinking about grammar, but it turns out that my thought is wrong because u are no different from those on VF criticizing me of my English

nothing changes even I take your criticism but only feel hurt. u didn't tell me that u didn't understand what I wrote. U could have told me where I made a mistake in my writing, but u didn't. I was trying to reply without thinking grammar and translating Chinese into English, and I believed that u wouldn't treat me like some did on VF. Even u asserted u are nicer to me than them, but I found your words are serious as same as their. your criticisms don't help me get aware of my fault because I knew what I did and was feeling regretful not to learn English as soon as I came here.
Jaysings, do you think maybe you are too sensitive? I don't see anyone picking on you? You asked a question about English and they could not give you a satisfactory answer. My suggestion is to just let it go. Maybe I should follow my own advice and just let this thread slide down the page.

when did u not understand my posts? u hadn't mentioned about it until ur criticism popped up to me. I don't understand why u said that any first year high school student in Shanghai has English better than mine. if my English is as worst as your saying, it was supposed to be illegible to u. I'm wondering why u were able to respond my comments

RU fucking serious??? How the fuck is that even possible? My parents have strong accents, but fuck they are like Shakespeare compared to you. Dude, any first year high school student in Shanghai that has never been outside China can speak better English than you.Quote
What about your parents, are they fluent yet in English? If so, why aren't they pushing you to do what you should have done a decade ago?
I'm arguing about this. my question doesn't matter me anymore
