看了翁总抛书包一连讲了「马前卒」、「鹰犬」、「狗腿子」 等的词，让我想起有一些字，一些词，少用了难免会曲高和寡。 小时常听妈妈及长辈们说的乡音俚语，似乎连他们本身也少用了。
想藉此挑几句福建乡音来分享一下：
瞎眼鸡啄到虫：指侥幸，上天恩赐的意思。
死某鬼：冤家的意思。
牛仔不识虎： 与初生之犊不畏虎同义。
吃头路： 就业的意思。
着青惊：被吓了一跳。
黑白讲：乱乱讲。
一分钱比牛车轮还大：指极度吝啬。
被捉去拔毛：被削剥。
卖咸鸭蛋：指已过世了。
做戏疯，看戏傻：指一个愿打，一个愿挨。
很有趣是吗？我想其他籍贯或许也有类似的俚语。重点是，这些都是我们文化的精髓。虽未能登大雅之堂，但有必要让它延续下去，让我们的下一代还能保留一些诸如此类的乡音。

Why Cow Head?
A group of angry residents of Shah Alam section 23 marched to the State Government office last week in protest of the relocation of Hindu Temple from Section 19 to Section 23.
I don't see any issues with peaceful protest for any matters that concern public interest but I was sadden by the way it was conducted. Residents carrying severed cow head, shouting Islamic slogans with something sounds like "protecting our religion" or the sort.
But why cow head? I was puzzled by the motives of carrying a severed cow head in the demonstration. Din't they know that cow is considered a sacred animal in Hindu?
If they are protesting, why should they hurt others' feeling by acting in such an extreme manner?
Watch it yourself in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytAkNMyGd1M and you will know what I mean.
Malaysiakini who did the posting refused to remove the video despite "advice" from MCMC, has maintained its stance to report the truth.
I felt uneasy with the scene but was glad that it was made available so that we can judge it ourselves whether it was indeed not intentially done to provoke Hindu as what Minister Hishammuddin claimed in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXc0AO4MrWA
