   Granted, it’s not the most appropriate of things to say in any situation (referring to Tim’s chili pepper phrase), but kudos to Tim for picking that up. That which doesn’t offend is likely to earn a laugh or two. (Really, how does one learn such a phrase like that in Dzongkha? Double kudos for the resourcefulness!)
