(And, hehe, you thought English was a "hissing
tongue"...eh?)

I remember the kids in Honduras saying "shu shu shu
shu" to imitate the sound of English, like American
kids might do to Chinese, "ching chang chong."  Is it
because English has some sort of "hissing" quality
that others pick up on but not native speakers?
