basically when translated back into maltese a phrase like that would probably instigate a punch in the face ;)

hehe yeah its ridiculous innit?

whats worse (nothing to do with translations, but once we're on the swearing subject), szc001 was telling me recently that when he lived in Floriana there was this woman who'd scream at her daughter... foxx ommok
does it ever occur to these people that theyre actually insulting themselves?!
