Please give me a hint on how to really get to my former marine hubby who spent time in Japan?
He always one ups me when we jab at each other kidding around. Could you tell me phonetically something that will let me win for once?
I hope he is a FORMER MARINE Hubby, not a FORMER Marine HUBBY? At any way, here's a way to fix his wagon:
Just call him a "chimpira". It really means "just a common street punk" but can also be used in jest in the manner you suggest. The proper way to deliver said insult to the victim is to say "kono chimpira". Said with a little bit of insipid irritation will flavor it just right.
Just remember to 'make up', OK?
