I can be such an inappropriate dork, but sometimes I just can’t help it..
Today, a girl came to the register, and as I swiped her card, I noticed her name was “Xiaxou”.
“How do you pronounce that?” I asked.
“ZI-zoo,” she responded.
“Now, I know!” I exclaimed.
She looked at me funny.
“Well, ya see,” I explained, “there’s this video game character whose name is spelled the same way, and I’ve been trying pronounce it for years…”
She looked at me, uncomfortably…
“…Tekken,” I stammered. “The game is ‘Tekken’…in case you were wondering. Well, have a good day…”
“…thanks…” And she quickly walked away. Actually, she performed a 16-hit combo on me. THEN, she walked away…
Oh well, at least I learned something 😛
