Mouth Perfumer

I had an expression
In my language
I joked with people whenever I wanted
Yin nhiany thok
Your mouth smells badly

One day I met a man
He greeted me and said
Why are you slender like this?
You are a mosquito GIRL
Put on some weigh

Yin nhiany thok, I said
Your mouth smells badly
He left silently
The following day we were to meet
He brushed his teeth for two hours

He bathed and washed his mouth for thirty minutes
He dressed up and when he was leaving his room
He recalled what I told him
Yin nhiany thok
He took his perfume and perfumed his mouth
That was my boyfriend
