Ah-sian Cup
Seems that there has been much hue and cry over ‘Singapore’ winning the ASEAN Cup - I personally heard much cheering from my window last night and wondered if the mee pok shop at a nearby KopiTiam had decided to up the ante against the other shops by throwing in an additional fishball for orders. To illustrate,
“YAY!!! WE WON IT. YES. YES. YES!”

"hmmm..."
No you didn't. The TEAM won. You are just trying to claim credit for their victory simply because you gals/guys relieve yourself within the same geographical locality. Methinks these sad people ought to try to claim credit for what THEY personally do and not attempt to vicariously claim credit by dipping their respective pinkies into the beam cast on another. If you are going to claim credit because they are 'singaporeans', then all men in the world can claim credit because those in team are 'men', or all people in the world sharing approximately the same height, length of hair, features, tint, etc, as those in the team could also claim credit. So, if one was to think about it a tad bit further than that which the all too average singaporean is accustommed to, one would realise that the appropriate and intelligent response to ‘singapore’ winning the ASEAN Cup would be,
“THEY Won it. Yes. Yes. Yes!”
In which case – because of the substitution of ‘we’ with 'they' – one would inevitably be led to wonder why we are making such a fuss over another’s victory - "Oi! They win what. Why you so happy?!"
Such abject idiocy. Ah sian man.

Have you heard of the French pronoun "on"? It technically translates to "one", e.g. "one has won it", but in the French culture and langauge it translates to:
* the first person plural "on est allé au cinéma" (we went to the cinema), with emphasis on the action, not the subject
* second person exemplar "if you heat water to 100 C, it will boil"
* second person direct ("on est trop jeune pour entrer / you-we are too young to enter")
*the world or the community in general
* the passive voice.
English just happens to lack a true equivalent of this pronoun.
But grammar pedantry aside, we taxpayers paid for this team what. Citizen unity lor.
