Urrrr

**klong toey** · 18-11-2010, 08:36 PM

I always know when my wife's phone calls are about to end there are three or four urrrrrs, then its end of call.

Think you may find it is also tonal, talking to building staff it was always a lower toned and drawn out, talking with contractors it was always shorter sharper and higher toned.

Gf says it is disrespectful and should only be used amongst close friends. Also, DD is right about the tones. Wrong tone or drawn out too long can cause a bit of trouble.

Thats my understanding of it too. I cant believe some of the pretentious crap posted here. Some of you might think your top of the tree and above it all, but get yourself back to your home countries for a while and get a reality check. You`ll find you aren't all that, and in most cases you`ll just be viewed as an ordinary person who has to work for a living, and nothing more.

It kind of reminds me of the southerners who look down their noses at an accent that comes from above the Watford gap. Not even worth pissing on imo. Fortunately, these kind of people are becoming less so these days.

I have overheard telephone conversations that only consist of "Urrr" and an occasional "Ja, Jaa" thrown in for good measure.

Of course that is only when they are in agreement.
Otherwise the phone call can get to be much more advanced

Depends, whether is's rude or not. I think it's about the tone you say it and also your mood at that time. Although people who are not from isaan also use this word, everywhere actually.

Isaan is a big place and to think that its full of sewer deweller is just crap.

You need to learn how to read. Nowhere do I say that it's full of sewer-dwellers. Lived there myself for over a year and found it a lovely place to abode oneself.

Forgot about the Ja Jaa,she only uses urrrrs and Ja with family members.
She received a call on the 15th of this month even though a close friend was respectful,no ja or errs.
It was a business call lasted 40 minutes involved lots of figures,they were lottery numbers and the call was from France.
Is that advanced enough for you.

I always used to use it for a laugh...mimickery.must also do a backwards sort of nod by raising the head when doing this.

Couldn't give a rats arse if it was rude or not.

Plenty of pommies/Aussies/yanks/kiwis have many, many different and slang way of saying things that is not exactly the Queens Engrish..

**The Master Cool** · 19-11-2010, 03:01 PM

I usually use Urrrr as I final thrust the misses.

**larvidchr** · 19-11-2010, 03:08 PM

^ So you are fucking rude

**The Master Cool** · 19-11-2010, 03:21 PM

Usually it's high tone, so not too rude.
