(Time out for explanation: One late night many years ago I was manning the front desk at the Hale Manoa residence hall of the East West Center on the University of Hawaii campus. The East West Center is a federal research facility that hosts scholars of all ages both short and long term, from all over the world but mainly from the Asia-Pacific. A resident who hailed from South Asia – the exact country escapes me – came down and said to me: “I want a fuck you cleaner.” "What!?! " Again: “I want a fuck you cleaner.” Turns out he wanted to check out the small vacuum cleaner we kept behind the desk for residents’ use.)
