Favorite Singaporean Words

1. BLUR - this is the Singaporen version of, "Ewan". More than a cloudy mirror, or window, blur is that look that people give each when they just don't know what's going on.

2. Queue - Stand in line, wait for your turn.

3. Cannot-laaaaah - Note the really prolonged ah. Yes, they take the time to emphasize the important words like can and cannot.

4. Tapao - When you want your order to go, you just say tapao. Faster to say than take-away, take-out, to-go.
