What's Your Most Memorable Experience As A New Immigrant? by zboyd: 2:42pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Here is a brief account of a close friend's most memorable experience, once he landed in New York, as a new immigrant, fresh from Nigeria. After a long flight from Nigeria, he landed at JFK Airport in New York and was picked up by his cousin who lived in Brooklyn. A welcoming party was waiting for him. After a round of eating and drinking and socializing, my friend noticed a cat that was the pet of his cousin's wife. Now my friend loved cats. So he tried to tempt the cat over to him, using a piece of fish as bait and some sweet talk. He went: "Here, puzzy, puzzy! Come puzzy, puzzy! I have some very sweet fish for you! Ehn! You are such a beautiful puzzy! Come! Come!" Well, he said the entire room went deadly quiet. You could hear a rat pizz on cotton. Everyone was looking at him very strangely. Finally, my friend's cousin spoke up. He said: "My brother. Cats aren't called "puzzies" over here. That's street slang for a woman's vjay! We say cat or kitty." lol My friend said he was so mortified, he couldn't enjoy the rest of his welcoming party. But he never made that mistake again. ______________ What's your most memorable experience, as a new immigrant? |
