I admit that I use my second language in front of people who I know don't understand it just to annoy the shit outta 'em. Yes, I speak, understand, read, and write perfect English, in fact I was born and raised in Vancouver----I just like using my fluid bilingualism as a secret code when I want to be verbally nasty. I'm not always like this though. Sometimes things just, more often than not, sound and feel better or funnier or more colourful in one moreso than the other.

It's a douche-bag move but I gotta be honest, if I could, I probably would... at least once in a while. Yes, I am admitting to having douche-bag inclinations. Knowing is half the battle, right?

What were we talking about?

Do you know where you live?

Hey, did you realize that you live in Vancouver? "secret code"? Give me a break. You are so immature. You probably just want attention. One day I hope someone calls you out on it.

English is my second language (as it is for many Vancouverites), and I often hear people speaking in my native language, as if no one can understand them. Sometimes it's tempting to cut in and surprise them, but it's more entertaining to just sit back and listen to them be asses.

Be Careful.

A friend of mine was on the sky train with her room mate and they made fun of a guy on the train and he turned around and started talking their language to them. So that was a lesson learned there.

Unless your second language is made up, or is spoken mostly by anthropologists and a small tribe in the jungle somewhere, someone else in Vancouver speaks it. You are not special, and someone can understand what you're saying.
