Mocking In Tongues

[allenlondon]

How do other peoples say the English phrase “Nya nya mee nya na“ (nearest I can get!)

I bet French, Chinese, etc., kids DO chant this or similar to denote derision.

as he passed in 1659, boys playing on dung heaps
he noticed they said no: I am king of the castle
but - kiss my parliament!
coz you see the reputation of Parliament or Rump thereof had sunk so low that it even had hit the streets

I've always found Monty Python's idea of French 'mocking' a perfect tool; "I fart in your general direction." :-))
