When he comes across older men yelling and arguing in Taiwanese while out and about, fishLIN tries to eavesdrop, because hearing the older generation yelling back and forth in Taiwanese "not only illustrates the power of the language, but has a special kind of rhythm to it; it's very hip hop."
曾在學校修習台灣文學史的 fishLIN，則大量閱讀賴和、王禎和、黃春明等作家用台語書寫的小說，來增強自己的母語功力。有時碰到路邊阿伯在用台語大聲吵架時，他們會悄悄走到旁邊「偷聽」，因為老一輩人用台語互罵，「不但用語妙，力道強，而且講話都有節拍，超嘻哈的！」
