I want patience and I want it now.

Also, I find that nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Laziness is what gets me out of bed in the morning.

@Ali: I think you're on to something. It's the calibration that's the hard part. But I also think that there's a little bit of a double standard that goes on: those words coming out of a 白人 may have tipped the scales.

Yes, I'm familiar with your three points. But the colleague I refer to was in a group of us about the same age and position who would take lunch together, and laugh and joke informally, and I'd heard someone say this to him about a month before. He laughed out loud (even with a mouthful of noodles) on that occasion.

@Matti Virkkunen: I would hear it at various times, usually when people were laughing and drinking socially, or at a noodle shop, etc.

@Herr Kaleun: It means, roughly, "Are you alseep?" with the added implication of "Hey, wake up" or "Pay attention."
