				 Re: Bandar Log - you whipped me with what?!? 
 Not just tone, but inflection.  It's a subtlety that you will pick up on pretty well in your first language, but that must be very challenging to grasp in another.
 In fact, I can see how verbally, the difference in inflection may sound to a foreigner more as you deliberately trying to be a prick, than you being sarcastic or goofy.
