Have you ever given ‘making water’ a thought? Well what if I told you that you make water every day, not once, twice but a lot many times. Yet we are still worried about water crisis. But it’s not the water that you think you are making it’s the other kind of water .
It’s been around 10 years now that I first heard about making water. I was out with one of my friends to a beautiful place full of trees and a small water body. When we reached the water body my friend told me “Mervyn, I want to make water, do you want to?”. I was so amazed that I had to rehear as I doubted what I heard, I said “Sorry?” At one point I thought this guy might be getting a little emotional about nature and stuff. And he went again “I want to make water”. Curiousity gripped me totally I told him “Dude that’s an amazing thought and I would like to make water too but that’s not possible. How in the world will you ‘make water’? And he realising that I didn’t understand, kind of broke it for me, showed his ‘little last finger’ and in a strained and loud voice “MAKE WATER F**KER”. I was like ok, good, go ahead and once he left I was laughing out myself. “Make water” how in the wildest of thoughts could one imagine bringing out such a phrase for “Pee”. Once he was back I told him “that wasn’t water Asshole that was ACID...” How can one just say he wants to make water and make acid?
I had completely forgotten about this whole “making water” thing until recently when I heard it again. Well this time I got it completely alright and was not able to laugh as the guy was not my friend nor was I able to tell him “Dude that’s acid not water”.
With this kind of English language skills I wonder where my Gujju brethren will go. I guess they’ll go “make water” J. The English language classes are mushrooming in Gujarat with big hoardings “Learn to speak English in just one month”. I guess such a phrase can only be their invention. I would like to suggest them to change their advertisements and put up “Along with English in a month also learn to ‘make water’ in just few minutes J”. These classes are screwing the language and they are doing it so very well that people cannot make the difference between pee and water. I hope nobody gets thirsty when my fellow Gujjus want to ‘make water’ J.
By the way now that you guys know about “Making water”, don’t misunderstand just give them way, let them ‘Make water, Peesfully.’
Cheerios – Happy 'Make Water' times! J
