Meaning of Sarkhar
Hi, a little trivial
Since schooldays my understanding of the meaning of Sarkhar (Teochew dialect)
was to carry balls (I studied in an English school).
Well, actually Sarkhar also means the third leg, and more,
like the walking stick that props up a person,
whatever his or her condition.
This realization came about like this,
when a fella said to his companion,
"You are quite good at carrying your boss's balls,
but you know, if you try harder,
you might be able to add a fourth one and walk like a dog."
I may know something quite fast,
but sometimes,
it took me a longer time to understand its meaning,
ha ha ha ha ha.
