Wah!!! Winning translation

This happened way back in OP:

Mother given Vagifem(TM) to strengthen the uterine area to decrease incontinence. Mother only speaks Hokkien and the accompanying son knows Hokkien and English. The filial son offers to translate.
.....
Me: This is Vagifem. Place one tablet into the vagina everyday.....
Son: tak meh jik liap bang c%^& b#$%
.....

I can only !!!! in my head. But the more polite way of saying vagina in Hokkien is ying ting - corresponding to the Mandarin ying dao.
