That's because it's not used in that sense.

In fact after a brief google I think it's another foreign bastardization of thai/engrish where it carries not all that much meaning to thais in thai.

It holds meaning alright - it's a strong swearword.

Not specifically racist, but you couldn't go wrong with the evergreen "khwai".

I think you misheard them. They were calling you "That Kunt Bob"

What about "DOOT MERC!!!"

Umm went to school in Thailand while my father was living there... lived there 10 years... I dream in Thai lol... fluent in spoken Thai.. never bothered to learn to write it though..

Surprised that you never bothered with the written language, Richard, after all those years of close interaction.

Interesting to note - the written forms can be deceiving as many Thais don't write as they talk....can be high formal to country Isaan to colloquial slang [in written form]. If one was to read these twisted scripts out loud, the muse might not be understood.

^ Yes, granted I did it the wrong way round... I should have learned to read it, before speaking it...

I'm too focused on learning Japanese now, but might learn to read/write Thai at some later stage.



*If anyone wants to practice their Thai on me (in Skype)... let me know and I'll PM you it.

Ok so I don't profess to know jack sprat about Thai or Lao. I do know when I piss off the misses she says something like " sue el lie eee honey." But if you want to tell someone off the old "geen kee, suck wow" should do it. So geen =eat. Kee=shit. Suck wow = jack off. This should get you there if that's where you want to go. Just my two bits worth. Smile when you say it . May make all the difference in the world.

Sorry miss spoke. Sue el lie= stupid. Ma honey=man bitch? Eee honey is woman bitch. Help me out Todd. What do I say to that?

Very good, but no. He is older than me by about 20 years. Im sure your wife's family have many names for you.

Thais always call Me God, God of the universe. A Higher status than the bloke in the picture frame.

Again that "eat shit" (กินขี้) is a bastardized english-ism translated into thai. Thais don't tell other thais to do that. As a rule it carries NO meaning to rank-n-file thais.. Now thai's that know their way around what passes for engrish here MAY know the phrase in english and translate it word for word into thai.

Nor does ชักว่าว (jack off) carry any negative connotation. No matter what you imagine in your wildest dreams.

FWIW: ชักว่าว (tugging on the kite string) is just the male term for pleasuring yourself, much like ตกเบ็ด (dropping the fishhook) is the female term. You guys crack me up.. No wonder thais think we're half-, nit-, dim- fuck- (insert your prefix for) wits when it comes to their language...

Yep....

Missed that one by a country mile there Norton!

Up-country when you're sitting outside drinking and need to take a piss when no bathroom is around; guys go "shoot rabbits" ยิงกระต่าย (ying grà dtàai) and gurls go "pick flowers" เก็บดอกไม้ (gèp dɔ̀ɔk mái). I was unable to find a single reference where the term "pick flowers" is used as a idiom for female masturbation, only urination.

Keep at it though, you'll get there. Possibly not this lifetime, but I wouldn't give up just yet..

I think if wife refers to you as her ATM , then that is going to be pretty bad downstream in the future.

If you want to insult any race a good knee in the testicles is far more affective than words.

Tod, Blacks don't call each other Nigger, that term is strictly reseverd as a Racist Slur! Blacks, Asians, Browns and Yes, some Whites refer to each other as "Nigga" as a term of street brotherhood and friendship. Calling someone "Nigger" can get you killed where as, calling someone "My Nigga" my get you a "Fist Bump" or Hug. Neither word in my opinion need be used to describe any human! As far as racial slurs why us them? If you have the Balls to insult, then take it to the next level.........don't hide behind some word. Be a Man and take it to the Street "knuckle Up" and my the best Mate win.......then go have a Beer!

Thanx for that edu-ma-cation there Rabid Boss..
Last time I checked (which I do once in a while) racial slurs are used the world over by different races towards other races.. The thais are no different in that regard.

What gets me is these peoples' penchant for bashing other thais because they come from a different province, don't have as high paying job, didn't go to college, and a myriad of other mostly b/s mindless criteria, because they are ALL thais! I think that's not actually racism but classism or something like that..
