The humorous thing taking that language for 4 years between High School and College, I did. Back in the day I had the build of an NFL linebacker, it was funny when I barked something back at them in their native tongue. Fortunately that was long before people got shot for serving someone cold fries. Some just casually walked away, others took off running.
