In college, my very Chinese landlord was quite the tightwad. The sewer backed up and he paid a young man to dig it up. The fella was good for the digging, but confessed to knowing nothing about pipe repair. The landlord asked me what I thought and I said that with the entire line already dug up, it would be better to replace the terra cotta pipe completely. Including that I knew little to nothing of plumbing myself. He shook his head dramatically and pulled out a roll of duct tape. He says, "You fix!" I responded that I could wrap the pipe with duct tape, but it would be "P1ssing in the wind." He repeated the phrase back to me several times adjusting it to better understand what I was trying to say. He then became quite irate and yelled, "Urinating in Breeze?!!!".
After he calmed down and I got up off the ground and regained my composure, I took the broken pieces and jigsawed/duct taped them back into place and poured a few bags of quickrete over the rough patch. I moved out that semester so I never heard whether it worked or not.
I am sure there were about 50 code violations involved... Never laughed that hard in my life.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
