My lovely wife Ellen sometimes says some funny things in English-phrases that kind of get lost in translation. I will periodically post them as new ones are created. So, please enjoy these little Ellen-isms!
Where is the cirantro?!!! (Where is the cilantro)
There is a died mouse in the backyard (dead)
Maple sauce for the pancakes (syrup)
There are a ton more, but I always forget, and Ellen doesn't help me remember!
"Your belly improved"-this is what Ellen said when she meant to say "your belly got bigger". I'm not sure I would call this an improvement, but it made me laugh nontheless.
"Subten" -this one took me about 5 mnutes to figure out, finally I learned the intented word-"sabbath"
"rop the benbu leaves" =wrap the bamboo leaves
"The Final Dinner"-this is the name of the picture on our living room wall (We all know it as "The Last Supper")
