Mat salleh.

I've learned more today, it is clearly the day of new things!
Some of the words that are described to use Caucasians, do have multiple meanings... 
(Or have more meanings than just meaning a Caucasian person.)


Found out about the Coxford Singlish Dictionary and am able to translate some of the words used now...

The Coxford Singlish Dictionary 

For example:-

ANG MOR GAO Hokkien for "red haired monkey", a reference to Caucasians.

and another one

MAT SALLEH Malay equivalent of "ang-mor". A phrase used to describe Caucasians, with a slight pejorative overtone. Some have suggested that it is a deliberate mispronunciation of "mad sailor". This conjecture cannot be confirmed, despite its obvious appeal.

And I thought everyone is just being polite as they keep smiling to me... didn't realise that they think that I am a mad sailor...
