Is the word āchatteringā somewhat offensive?
English is not my first language, but Iām very much willing to learn. So I watched this youtube short, and I completely missed the joke. Why was everyone baffled by him saying āare you ladies done chattering?ā Is it because of the word āchatteringā? I thought itās a normal looking, non-offensive word. Or maybe the moment when he said the word that made it offensive/irritating? One of the comment even pointed out that using the word āchatteringā instead of āchattingā made it infinitely funnier. I donāt get it, please help!
