They always tried to out-suffer you: "NEW SHOES??! AND A CAR?! I walk eh 3 kilo to school up and down zee hells wis no shoes!...wis rain!"

Having to explain modern clothing: "Come, come, come. Where you going? Club?!! This is no way! All the clothe you have and you don't wear!! Those jeans are eh holes and ripped!"

Then there's the entertainment world: "I saw Johnny Bieber! He eh smokin like he's bad boy now, wow! And Melissa Cyrus?! She is eh crazy like no hair and smoke like Bieber too, wow!"

The awkward moment you correct their grammar in an argument: "OHHH you smart. Really so so smart! I'm here you know since when? 30 years since now from 30 years then! Don't eh start, ok?!"

Teaching them technology:"Mmhm, scroll. I see, scroll here to go zair, I want to scrolling up and it not going. It not going!! IT NOT GOING!! WHY I PAY $600 IT NOT SCROLL RIGHT??! This ridic-lous!"
