I know, I’m supposed to pronounce fäk and not fåk, but they sound the same to me

  1. Not chaotic enough, Luigi ! Pronounce it as “fuck” on purpose !

  2. You could say it pronouncing each letter separately, which is how I hear native speakers do it, like “EF EI Q”.

  3. just spell them out slowely, F A Q pausing between each letter, or just say fuck and whenever you get reprimanded tell them, they really must hate frequently asked questions.

  4. Who the fuck says it as FAQ, you say it as the letters Eff Ayy Cue

  5. I know internet is slow in Italy, but this meme wasn’t even funny in 2012 Luigi

  6. Spaniards and Italians when they speak English be like:

    -FAQ=Fuck

    -Sheet=Shit

    -Beach=Bitch

  7. No no no,

    The whole point is to use your knowledge of the language to confuse them and make uncomfortable and then pretend that it’s because of your lack of knowledge!

    I work with Americans and literally feed of their energy.

    “-Hi, predek! How are you doing?
    -Thanks!”

    You can hear their souls cry for help.

  8. Reminds me of when I taught English as a foreign language, many years ago. I had a long discussion with a guy from Kazakhstan who I was working one-to-one with. He worked in the gold-mining industry with lots of Aussies. He heard them use the word “cunt” all day long and was really worried that if he said the word “can’t” people might think he was swearing.

    I said it was contextual and very unlikely to be a source of confusion. We did come up with a couple of possible exceptions. For example:

    “Can I punch you in the face?”

    “No, you can’t!”

    One of my more entertaining students.

  9. Yep, that one sounds like “fuck”. Not my fault Barry doesn’t put dots between his acronyms. Like F.A.Q.

  10. It reminds me of an English test I made in highschool, when my teacher said “ok guys, give me your sheet” and I was imploding inside

  11. I heard a similar a story about a person in a job interview pronouncing “fuckhead ” instead of “façade”.
