They sound stupid and immediately identify themselves as having mixed in poor company, fine I suppose if you mix in circles that routinely speak like that.

... and you could say the same for farangs using expletives in English. Like the ones we all know who can't utter a sentence without using "fu*king" as an adjective.

Slang should only be used by native speakers, an englishman using the word "dude" might as well dress up in baggy trousers and clown make up, for that is how he will be perceived, likewise englishmen saying "asshole" rather than "arsehole"

there is an art to swearing effectively, terry57 seems to have it, few others here do. Blackgang was a master.

I have heard thais try and swear in english, and it sounds pathetic and laughable, and these are thais with decent english skills, imagine what most farangs must sound like when they use thai slang and swear words, unless they are purposely going for the comic effect, they might as well just put on the baggy green trousers, long shoes and fall flat on their dumbfuck faces.

only if you are mildly retarded

tweerys swearing is a cartoonish blancmange of cliches

like an Australian saying "blurter"

I fukin ate pikeys....

I thought all aussies said blurter, it has a funny sound to it, its onomatapoeic, like something rowan atkinson might say. I like terrys use of slang, I wouldnt want to listen to it all day, but reading it every now and again is quite amusing.

Which just goes to show that if I ever visit australia, I should not attempt to use what I assume is aussie slang.

^ if you tried you would be marked as a silly old tosser regurgitating 1970's television larrikin stereotype .

why do you think I give him so much sh1t

Even if I said "one in the blurter will never hurt her"

I'll find a terry thread and challenge him on it.

I sat (you animal)
I he-ya (no idea but it sure is a great insult)
I k-buy (you buffalo in Khmer)
I chkoot (you crazy in Khmer)
I chkay chkoot (you damn crazy in Khmer)
Arabaal (some minor insult in Khmer)

^
you dull simpleton, a conclusion based on irrefutable evidence

Careful here, Tax, because regional dialects come into play. For instance, in deepest West Country the indigents employ " ass " rather than arse and " ass'ole " is the term most used.

You dribbling streak of paralysed northern piss.

When using descriptors for the straw chewing cousin marrying droolers of the west country, I would think both terms are both suitably restrained and entirely appropriate, it is the land time forgot, a theme park where civilised folk can travel to observe the genetically deficient and treasure hunt for the missing link.

Are you still in thailand, or are you back in bumliegh saltycombe yet?

Still here but the wheels are moving. Seems June is the likely exeunt but the destination is Lancashire where the work is.

Funnily enough, as the time approaches feet begin to drag a bit and the native hue of resolution is sicklied o'er by the pale cast of thought.

In short, we might change our minds yet. The distaff being the hind legs and all is content to follow but neither of us is of firm conviction. A true case of hasip/hasip.

destination is Lancashire where the work is.

You're becoming a northerner, thats karma for you.

But didnt know there were still mills taking on, thought they all closed down years ago.

What exactly is it that you do?

Dop na deh.

I shall be skivvying for an old friend in his business which is expanding.

Quite looking forward to it and living somewhere new. It's the proximity to the Lake District and the Dales that most appeals although the weather will play a part and if the previous year repeats itself we shall no doubt up stumps and return by which time our gaff in Pattaya will be ready.

Always preferred northern bitters to southern brews and quite liked assuming their accents when pissed viz. ecky thump, ebagum ( which is Mugabe backwards ) and aaaa lad, petal, flower and the like.

Are there Linguaphone courses?

Wannabe northerners seeking approval and acceptance by falsely adopting northern mannerisms will, quite rightly, find themselves shunned and ridiculed, much like idiot farangs swearing in thai.

Additionally, you may find yourself forcibly bundled onto the first available horse and cart bound for the south.

An' Ah'll tell thi that fer nowt!


But it is a beautiful part of the country, and angry weather only adds to the beauty of the bleakness.

I rest my case..

How about tryin' it "real" Thai? I can't make heads or tails outta that "karaoke" crap, even if you can.

I remember when I was a kid, us brothers were playing with a French boy, not very kindly, and he shouted at us "blimey you"

That surprises me because you come across as a fucking know-it-all with a holier than you attitude. Wanker.

Er, that should be " we brothers " ........n'est-ce pas ?

^ maybe but I am sure you understood my meaning, which is what communication is all about

salop!

[quote=toddaniels;2430404]

It never ceases to amaze me that it's foreigners who seem to have a tenuous grasp of the Thai language at best, who want to know how to curse with words which; if said to the wrong Thai at the wrong time would lead almost certainly to dire consequences..

Indeed it could.
But then again, curses as well as slang are a part of every spoken language.
Not learning those expressions would leave one in the dark on many an occasion.

I see few posters on this thread actually meaning to use such vulgar vocabulary.
Just wanting to know a bit about it.

After wading thru 7 mind-numbing pages of some of the most hideous transliterations of Thai (which is thai written with English characters) I've possibly ever read,

Why did you even bother? Do you like to torment yourself? Are you a masochist?
And you wisely refrain from posting any transliterations of thai yourself, so that you don`t expose yourself.
Some posters in here don`t read nor write thai language. I still see their input as valuable as anyone else`s, even in a thai language thread.

transliterations of Thai (which is thai written with English characters)

Thank you for lining that out, I would never on my own have been able to figure out the meaning of a 4 syllable word.

Let me further add this, transliterations come in different shapes, depending on the nationality of the poster.

Believe me all Thais curse; the difference is they also all speak Thai at a much higher level than you or I do

They sure do. But in daily life associating with the "salt of the earth" kinda people, I very rarely hear "high level thai", although they are of course perfectly able at it.
I usually only ever listen to Phaasaa Baan, ภาษาบ้าน for you, as you seem incapable of understanding any attempt at transliterations.
