Highschool Funny Line


In his strategy to put the class in high spirit, I remember our high school teacher saying.

"Puseg itan, edesdespag mo."

It was funny then. Why so? The teacher appeared innocent about what the statement meant. The teacher isn't an Ibaloi speaker for he is from a distant Cordillera province. Just imagine how he could put those words in his mouth...

What semantics is offered by the line, afterall? Jejeje. I did not know. I can only recall how my "mature" male classmates (Simon, Feliciano, Moises, etc.) seem to have connected the statement.
