mart Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Curiousity got the better of me and so I thought I should ask on one of the UK's top forums. I don't know how the term came to be. I've never heard any of these whispers from our oriental friends. I'm a bit 'hard of hearing'. Apparently the government of the USA are listening to China, but I don't know if they have heard anything either. I go in their chip shops and they don't talk in whispers. I ordered chips and gravy. He said in a fast voice, "You want Fok & tray I said what? He then said in a loud voice, "DO YOU WANT FORK AND TRAY" !!! So what is the situation?

Well I'm sure on a covert level the Chinese Government listen to America, just as the American's listen to the Chinese. Wasn't there something about balloons being shot down overt he Atlantic recently? I won't mind if you use the term Chinese whispers. I know you mentioned that you're hard of hearing, but I've not heard anyone say that you shouldn't use the term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hardie Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 You’re not supposed to say ‘oriental’ either, friends or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
