have you ever told someone off in a language they didn't understand?

Question

I did this morning. I smiled the whole time. They probably thought I was saying something sweet. It felt really good, too!

Answer 1

Did it in sign language. THe thing with Sign Language is all of the words depend on your facial expressions to tell a tale, so if you are smiling, you can totally curse someone out and they'd never know (unless they sign themselves)

Answer 2

Yeah I had done it a few times, but I haven't done it in a minute because I dont see whats the point in doing that. If I'm gonna tell someone of I make sure they understood every word I said to them. So they wont mess with me again. LOL

Answer 3

Yep in Russian

Answer 4

What would be the point ??? The purpose of telling someone off is to let them know how disappointed you are with them. Belittling and degrading always helps when telling someone off. If they can't understand you ......why bother ???????/

Answer 5

Yes !! It's funny to do that.. And you can say whatever because they don't understand it .. But you have to be careful, you never know what languages they may and may not know !!

Answer 6

Hahaha! yes, in spanish! they do think that it's something nice. they'd be like "aww, thnx" when you really said was the kid next to you stinks! lol! yes it's fun! in french class the hispanics nd i talk a lot!

Answer 7

I do it in spanish all the time but with regular words in double meaning that way do don't have to use bad words.

Answer 8

I lose it in Russian some times! But my Russian is pretty bad. Sometimes, I curse in Arabic.

Answer 9

I like to make vague angry gestures at people and say "stufa di gas!" It sounds very ominous and dirty unless you know that it just means "gas stove" in Italian.

Answer 10

i don't tell them off in a different language. just go off in a different language until they leave me alone. sometimes i don't even use sentences, just put together random words.
