Scenes from work, part four (or fo', as they would say on the streets)

(In between bites of fried dumplings)

Me: I don't know how you can get steamed dumplings instead of fried. The fried ones have that nice brown color.

CoWorker: But they aren't really fried. I think they are just the steamed dumplings that get stuck to the bottom of the pan and soak up all the sweat and stuff

Me: Can you not use the term "soaks up sweat" when refering to the item that I'm eating?
