Ma naqbilx mieghek, Cat. L-aktar l-aktar jekk dik il-povra mara Giga nstabet hatja meta ma kinitx kif qed tehbirni qalbi.

[Daphne – Povra mara, my eye. She ill-treated that poor child horribly. She deserved to spend all that time in jail for her extreme cruelty to him, even if she didn’t actually kill him. He lived in fear and misery for eight years, thanks to his ghastly mother. May she rot in hell. If you know the story of that boy’s short and miserable life, you’ll have no pity for that woman. Life in jail would have been too good for her.]

[Daphne – Not only Eastenders, but also Jerseylicious and Hoarders. I suppose the only thing it speaks volumes about is that I don’t have to prove anything to myself. You might still be at that stage in life where you are beset by self-doubt about your intellectual level if you find yourself enjoying anything other than Wagner and French art films, both of which bore me to tears, incidentally.]

Brian, you are right and “ifhimni” must the most abused word used in interviews.

On Saturday, I heard an interview on Campus FM in which the interviewee, a teacher of environmental studies, said “ifhmni” 10 times in less than five minutes.

….but the best one must be “Ifhimni” – heqq, ghax kollha professuri dawn u difficli tifhimhom.

You’re forgetting “essacc” (as such).
