While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza
to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like
it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before
responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough
to eat 6 pieces."
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I
got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was
open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end
the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

lol, this is Chin-lish, that is, Chinese-English. When you are expressing our agreement with someone, you can use the expression down-mentioned:
I cann't agree with you more~
You can say that again~

Dude....my expression of "truer" was never meant to be serious...it's a layman's term....so if you wish to correct my grammer, do so within a valid reason (or maybe you think it was?) ...thanks.
Btw...i think you meant "Chinglish".....like Manglish (Malaysian English) or Singlish (Singaporian English)....
No reason.
As an English Major, I have been poisoned deeply that I have the fault of trying to correct......
Please take it as a suggestion of well-meaning~
I, as a non-English major, am perfectly fine with that expression. Don't be surprised if you see stuff like "more gooder"
No worries, no offense taken.
As a person who grew up in an English speaking environment for the pass 30 years (yes, I'm not from China nor did i grow up here)....i've spoken, heard, written any English form possible... hence naturally, there will be some "Slang" or layman terms showing up every now and then. No i can't write poems nor fully understand Shakespeare...but i think i can hold my own ground.
A large company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business.
He walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, "How much money do you make a week?" A little surprised, the young man looked at him and replied, "I make $400 a week. Why?"
The CEO then handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed, "Here's four weeks pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!"
Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?"
From across the room came a voice, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

Two engineering students crossing the campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."
The first engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
