Hahhaa tell that to the Shi poem in mandarin. 94 times the frikin shi word!

Not quite the same though -- that poem is literally incomprehensible to any Mandarin speaker, unless we read it. In OP's meme it's the spelling that's messin' things up.

Edit: Also, all these syllables (morphemes, not words) are not quite the same -- they are differentiated by the four tones of mandarin chinese. Here is a link to the poem being read -- you might hear the almost musical intonation of each syllable.
