Lovely thing she was.....she gazed into my eyes and asked "You have Mi Wi?". Puzzled I said "Mi Wi. Whasat?" She repeated , but louder "MI WI. You no have?" "You want a Mi Wi ?" I asked. "NO. YOU NO HAVE MI WI?" she yelled......Eventually of course I got it. "No. No have Mi Wi" I assured her.
Now she is my Mi Wi............aaaaaaah. Lovely innit?
What 'Thaiglish' has made you smile?
Spent a very amusing couple of hours once with some ladies in a bar up on Nanai. Subject of the discussion - war stories from the Bangla beginners brigade or the perils of "working" with three words of English in your vocabulary.
Guy was relaxing in that period of post-coital bliss when he asked his companion what she fancied doing. "I horny" was the reply. A bit perplexed he was but gave it his best shot.
When he'd got his breath back he enquired again. "I TELL YOU ALLEDDY - I HORNY". Took a while to sort it out. Poor girl was starving.
Even better was "first-timer meets first-timer". Never having done this before the lad asked the girl how much he should give her. "Wun Tow Zand". He was well disposed and happy with the encounter so he suggested fifteen hundred only to be met by a very angry face and "NO!! WUN TOW ZAND!!" followed by a sotto voce "oh ok"
when he proffered three purples.

Questionable phonetics. Mai Wai would have been better.Quote:

I always remember a West of Ireland story about a mountain woman in a pharmacy looking for a soother/dummy/pacifier who asked for "a tit for a child without a hole".

OK, I was pronouncing Mee Wee in my head. Sorted
"finger feet" for "toes" was the most ridiculous i have come across so far:)
Yeah, words that make sense really are ridiculous. Not enough Greek these days, mark my words.
When building house phones wife
"darling have beautiful chicken" (bet you can guess)
"WHaaaat !!!"
"Oh sorry kitchen not chicken"
