allo everyone...i hav this particular phrase which sounded like 'opps,i did it again' and 'oh!duhhh..blarst me!'whenever i get into trouble. are this considered as phrases? my frens also have this habit of saying 'hey dude! watz up?'i find this pretty common as a lot of hip hoppers like to say it too..its too bad i can't share much as most of my friends speaks mandarin..hope to see you guys again in this forum!!
