Although I am sorry to disappoint you but I can't come up with a joke right now.
But how about I teach you a French expression to use when the time calls for it?
Okay, here goes.
Say, "Toucher du bois" as maarte (girly) as you could.
too-shay-doo-bwah.
Repeat that expression over and over again until you see the person who irritates you the most then say, "Grabe! Ang pangit talaga niya. Toucher du bois!" ("Super! She's so ugly! Toucher du bois!")
Have you memorized it yet?
Of course it won't be fun to say if you don't know what it means, right?
"Toucher du bois" is the French translation of Knock on Wood.
Try using it some time!
Toucher du bois! Sabay katok sa kahoy (Then knock on wood).
Para next time na manlait ka, mas sosyal di va ? :'p (So that the next time you insult somebody, it's more classy, right?)
;'p
heheheh
