And I have been cracking my head ever since. Is there no similar word in BM for jogging ? Daddy says no. But I just can't believe it - jogging is such a common word. I understand direct translation for more complicated words like innovation, inspiration, etc. But jogging???
In this case, can we also substitute other common words like...mmm, 'clubbing' ? Emak pergi berclubbing dengan bapa (Mommy went clubbing with Daddy) ?
Or 'pimping' ? Kawan saya berpimping laman saya kepada semua (My friend is pimping my web to all).
Or 'bitching'???
Ok, granted bitching and pimping are not such
I can almost hear my lil monsters enlightening the cikgu during 'bina ayat' sessions in the foreseeable future:-
Emak selalu berbitching tentang majikannya kepada kawan-kawan (Mommy is always bitching about her boss to friends).
Cikgu terpelanting! (Teacher fell off chair!)
