While shopping for food at ChowKing (off McKee Rd., San Jose, CA) to bring home for Thanksgiving dinner that night, we came across a stout-looking, dark-skinned Pinoy guy, who was selling dried fish called “tinapa” in Filipino. For whatever reason, Maw and Paw had received a comment or two from this annoying but smiling fellow. Another guy who wore the uniform for SeaFood city was nearby and probably ready to smoke his cigarette.
The comment he made was:
“Jackamo!”
To Maw, it meant nothing. But to moi, he meant to say to potential customers, nay to strangers alike, or people in general who do NOT buy his salty fish that:
“You Jack Ass!”
But the twosome refuse to believe someone who can assume well to sense what is going on in people’s mind or nutballs, such as that apple-shaped cad of a human.
So next time you encounter that grundgy little troll, tell him loudly:
“Back to you Jack Ass!”
The guy is Ilocano, (or from Ilocos), like Tess K.
