It's like we're all competing in a game that no one wants to play. And even though you can't ever win the game, you can prevent yourself from losing by pretending that you like playing long enough to be allowed to stop playing.

From Reddit

I tried to explain the common saying "Gacche kathal gophe tel" to my friends today. But in English, "Oiling your mustache in anticipation of the jackfruit tree bearing fruit" doesn't have the same snap.

It means "Don't get ahead of yourself." Like, an American equivalent might be, "Don't start counting your vacation days before the job interview."

But I like the fact that the Bangladeshi version makes the assumptions that:

a) You love jackfruit (which is milder than durian but if even slightly overripe smells like diarrhea),

b) You have a mustache that's thick enough that it would be a hindrance to eating the juicy and sticky jackfruit,

c) You oil the mustache before you eat the jackfruit so that the remnant stink (which can get pretty intense) doesn't fuck with your luxurious facial hair, and

d) You are so excited by the idea of eating jackfruit that you oil your mustache in anticipation of this glorious event.

Sita Sings the Blues

Good fun. Lots of good music but I got a bit exhausted by the method of story telling by the end.
