Ending
Onishi
▶︎ Hey, guys. “Who do you think you are?” is so harsh an expression,
isn’t it?
David
▶︎It really is like a verbal slap in the face.
It’s very confrontational, for sure.
Roza
▶︎ And actually even if you don’t understand the phrase itself,
you’ll probably feel the harshness even through the tone.
David
▶︎ Yeah, the intonation, the facial expression will probably communicate it.
Onishi
▶︎ So what’s your advice?
Roza
▶︎ Be very careful when you’re using it
David
▶︎ If you can avoid it, it’s probably best.
David
▶︎ But you still need to clean your room.
Onishi
▶︎ Oh, yes. I’ll do that.
