    Witty, but can be construed as racists in some countries.

    How about the more common ones like :

    Wan Hung Low

    Two Wongs dun make a white

    Wan Wing Low etc.

    Bbn, how are they racist? Which particular race is being targeted? If you say discrimination..perhaps there's something there..but racist? Sorry, don't see it ..

    Erm... if you're talking about grammar here, alright, it's quite Singlish.
    But for the pronunciation, I beg to differ. We're not that far off right??
