Ur Parent's Favorite Phrases

My dad's known to the be scariest hmong man in our little town because he's got such a LOUD voice, but yet a very gentle man inside... Only if people knew him better... Anywaise... Anyone of you buddies remember any common phrase your parents would used around the house when they were mad, annoyed, or happy... I have alwaise lauf wen my dad used his common phrase when he's mad at us...

HMONG: Tsis txhob thas lub pheej pov, tsam lub pheej pov tawg os...
ENGLISH: Dont bother the bomb, cause if the bomb explodes, you'll be sorry...

My dad was like a time bomb... If u dont touch him, he's fine... but once u piss him off... he will EXPLODE... haha...

ALSO another one... when my dad is at his verge of getting annoyed by anyone in the family... he would repeat our names over and over and over and over and over... until he got tired of repeating it then he walk away... :lol:

whenever my sisters and i are sitting on the couch and watching movie after cleaning and stuff, if my dad is in a bad mood he would come and say

HMONG:"ua tsas, nev tsis paub nyuaj siaj lis os."
ENGLISH: "you guys don't know how to worry."

sorry..my spelling for hmong is relly bad..i hope you guys can read it.

or like if he's bored and has nothing to do, he would start complaining about how messy the house is and point out every little dust on the tables until we get so annoyed by it..^^ but we make fun of him afterwards..

my dad's favorite phrase is 'what time are you working tomorrow' even though he knows i work at 5 every day, but i know it's his way of starting a conversation with me and his hmong phrase is 'lwm hnub mas yuav tsis muaj quav tso'
