    Eat my shorts, kiss my butt. Are these phrases literal requests? Or hyperbolic idioms that most Native english speakers recognize as meaning something else. In this episode Kelly reacts to the infamous viral Dalai Lama video and the apology, for the very first time, and Meryle uses her education and knowledge of Tibetan Language and culture to figure out the REAL Tibetan meaning behind “suck my tongue”. Kelly and Meryle discuss Tibetan cultural norms and idioms that seem bizarre or outrageous to non-Tibetans, and discuss why survivor of childhood Monastic sexual assault Kalu Rinpoche calls western accusations towards The Dalai Lama “pathetic”. Although there has been a real predator problem within the Tibetan monastery system, it appears that pointing a finger at The Dalai Lama, may not help save the children.
