Cfeisys | Requests?

Post by melinydre »

While searching online for example sentences using the word chomedi, I landed on an article entitled Cfeisys a chomedi C'mon Midffld. (https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Cfeisys ... 0244695159)

I've consulted several online dictionaries and I cannot find the word cfeisys! Google Translate renders it as "requests"...is that a fair translation? Why can I not locate the word in any dictionary?

Because it's not a real word :D One of the main characters in the the 1980s-90s comedy series C'mon Midffîld!, Wali, has a speech impediment meaning he can't roll his r's. So this is a representation of the way he says creisys "crisis" (bit of a Wenglish word) as "cfeisys".

Here's a clip from the show if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc4fk7RIe9o. Wali's the chap with the black hat and thick glasses.
