my sunday dishes

While I was washing the dishes, my mom said this

Ma : Sayur macam ni semut suka
Me : Kenapa ma?
Ma : Sebab ada udang semua..
Me : (thinking) mungkin sbb ada udang di sebalik batu
Ma : Haha. Orang2 dulu pandai buat peribahasa.. Ada udang sebalik batu, sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga..
Me : Ha'ah kan.. dah la dah jatuh.. kena timpa tangga lak tu.. Kesian eh.. Agaknya sebab mula mula di melepaskan batuh kat tangga, lps tu jatuh and kena timpa tangga tuh.. bole gak kan ?
Ma : Orang dulu mmg mcm2..
Me : Terlajak perahu bole undur, terlajak kata ?

The perahu bit peribahasa got me thinking, why did the person who came up with the peribahasa relatekan perahu dengan kata kata ? Ada banyak bende yang bole terlajak and bole undur.. telajak kereta bole reverse.. terlajak jalan boleh patah balik.. why perahu ?

Sayur tu sayur yg dr laut ke? That's the only time an udang can meet the sayur. Oh, and the other time is dalam kuali. ce-ceng! like the other peribahasa, ikan dilaut, asam di darat... sambung sendiri.

If you think about it, perahu bukan ker lagi susah nak berundur kalau banding dengan kereta, jalan kaki etc. Orang dulu2 don't know what they're talking about.

lucky 6:55 PM  

dyanna : tp mak aku buat sayur campo.. bercampo dgn udang.. tp mmg semut suka.. maybe sbb rumah aku pun ada enjit2 semut..

Haris : mungkin yg buat peribahasa tu org nelayan kot ? maybe if org zaman skrg nak buat peribahasa
"terlajak perahu bole undur, terlajar kereta bole reverse, terlajak type bole undo, terlajak kata bole re-verse" hey that rhymes!
