Moreover the pronunciation of เฉ่ยๆ (chà-lŏie) is different from what I heard on the streets.

เฉ่ย and เฉลย are two completely different words. I can't be 100% sure what you mean because you've written in the Roman alphabet but I and others have done the best we can to help. No need to say thank you, though.

I get a feeling that you are confused and you can't read Thai because the words I have highlighted from your post do not match.

NB: There is one thing in Passing Through's earlier post that is not correct. There should be no tone mark. It should be เฉยๆ (not เฉ่ยๆ).

Quite right. Not sure where that ไม้เอก came from. What was I thinking of, I wonder?
