What is a sbfuncle and what is a kopi tiam uncle ? :geek:

Here is my humble definition although both appear to be the same but they are totally different.
Kopi tiam uncles are mostly stupid sinkies. They mostly doesn't have much education and poor with money mgt . They have very powerful spoken hokkien and mostly are Chinese educated seniors and you can always see them carrying a wan bao or xin min. Tcss with beer aunties etc
Even those that are English educated mostly will have something in common I.e. they all barely have 3 gce o level passes and from arts stream in sec sch.

Now sbfuncle is totally a different matter :geek:
Although sbfuncle English is not so good, and Chinese lang both not good, but other subjects sbfuncle top in class all the time which puts sbfuncle in the top tier be it in school or the workplace :geek:
Sbfuncle also very good with money mgt and analytical skills (not say only but done it with proven results from various aptitude tests)

Both kopi tiam uncle and sbf uncle can be present at the same coffeeshop or sg pool outlets/turf club at the same time looking almost the same, but they are not the same at all .:geek:

Now when you put a kopitiam uncle together with a sbfuncle, what will happen ? :eek:
Eg when they are put together in a coffeeshop or a betting outlet?
It will mostly end with the sbfuncle doing the arm chio :biggrin:
Because of the stupid things/bets done or said or comments by the kopitiam uncle :geek:
Of course sbfuncle only can arm chio or else will kana beaten up lor.
