ROFL~ LOL~
Out of boredom..
Really bored…
I digged out this frm one of the archived emails in my mailbox.
Hi Kohs,Arising from my frequent use of the term “erickoh” recently, I have received many queries clarifying what it actually mean. As one of the founding fathers of this term, I feel obligated to explain how this term came about and how it should be used.
erickoh is, by far, one of the most versatile words in my vocabulary (losing out only to fcuk). The word erickoh is like a wildcard that can represent anything. Originally, this term came about because I had a friend who would always find excuses to miss gatherings or drink alcohol. It should not be a surprise to you that his name is eric koh. At some point, we just started to label all buay steady acts as erickoh. For example, when a person said he cannot drink anymore, we humiliate him by calling him an erickoh. When a person put aeroplane and cannot make it to a gathering, we say he erickoh us. Sometimes, out of boredom, we would say sibeh erickoh just for fun. (erickoh right?). Over time, we got more creative and came out with the official erickoh chant which goes like this:
erickoh ah yo ah yo
erickoh ah bo ah bo
erickoh ah koh koh koh
To make things more fun, we have since created some dance moves that goes along with the chant. I will try to organize for some kohs to demonstrate this dance and chant someday at MOS and see if we can make this one of those standard dance moves that regular cheongsters will recognize and know how to dance.
There are many circumstances whereby you can apply the word erickoh. I will quote you some recent real-life scenarios where those people involved are really erickohs. I have this colleague who carries a laser pointer but I have never seen him used it, not even when he’s giving presentations. Yesterday, I realized what he uses his laser pointer for – to easily pinpoint dishes to the auntie selling mixed-vegetable rice. Now, that’s erickoh. I met this guy in the gents and he stood at the urinal next to me (he’s not exactly next to me since I usually stand about 1m away from the urinal, too long lah, cannot blame). Guys just have this habit of spitting into the urinal before pissing, I don’t know why. So this guy spat and the next word I heard was “SHIT!” I knew without having to look that he had spat right at his own dick. Now, that’s erickoh.
I am in the process of finding out the administrative procedures to get erickoh recognized as a word in the Oxford and Longman dictionaries. Before that can happen, I will try to create a wikipedia entry and would also appreciate it greatly if any kind kohs can contribute some money for me to publish these information in the local newspapers to educate the general public. Please call 9-ERIC-KOH if you can help.
Koh Bless you,
Allan Koh
Let me provide another most recent instance… I have this friend who is discussing with me, where shall we dine at on Friday. So since I have an appointment nearby Bugis, I told him let’s meet at Bugis, easier for me to rush over. He replied me with “Katong HK Cafe” as his suggestion.. and all set, we are going to Katong. That’s Eric Koh!! Sibeh Erickoh, rte? 😉
I believe by now, u guys should clearly know what’s the meaning and how do we use this phrase, don’t u? =D
