in mandarin chinese (putonghua) and I think also cantonese (gondonghua) it is called "punyen". And as for Thai, if you tell someone to 'Go' ("chu-ler") you're telling them to bugger off! ha ha ha
my favourite was Polish for a 'jug' - "Mega klamer" - which sounds like 'mega climber' when pronounced ... and they say "super" a lot, which makes you feel like a star when you're climbing
as for the lesson in german - sounds like the sort of person you need to belay half way up the wall then let them know that you're off belay just as they enter the crux |
