the KA LAT mystery...

Good evening my Chinese homies.
Welcome to my show, the Mystifyingly Mysterious Mysteries.
I'm your host Bagina Chong.
Tonights mystery is the all-mystifying KA LAT mystery.

We will begin with the million dollar question. What the hell is KA LAT? I'm talking about the KA LAT from KA LAT DAIE which means armpit in Cantonese. We all know very well that DAIE refers to 'pit', that leaves us with KA LAT which obviously refers to arm...right? BUT you never see us go around asking ppl ' tong mo lei ge KA LAT??'
or 'law lei ge KA LAT lei' or 'wah! ho fei ar lei ge KA LAT!!'. That, would be plain crazy talk. And crazy talk is like, SO, like, below us, girlfriend! (snaps fingers) It is not derived from Hokkien or Hakka.

so....

What the @#&*$ is KA LAT? No one really knows. It's a mystery.
And that just about wraps up this episode of the MYSTIFYINGLY MYSTERIOUS MYSTERIES! Till the next episode. when you say? who knows? that, will remain a mystery too.
Thank you for joining us, I'm your host Bagina Chong.
