Jesus, us Farang at the end of the day are only considered semi permanent visitors.
By that i mean we all will die one day and go to hell. :)
Just go with the flow while ya still breathing Eh.
That's my take in living in this shit house.
Fuk it Eh. :spam2:
In all my time in Thailand (more than NZdick :) ) I've never hear the word spat out "like it carries a bad taste" and I've never felt that it was used as an unflattering label. But maybe it's the different circles we keep.Quote:

Hey, I didn't say that I got my knickers in a twist over the use of the word.... my point was the use of the word when they know full well the nationality of the 'farang' but refuse to acknowledge it... kow jum mai krup?
In the broad sense of the word, are Thais Asian? yep.. is Terry a Farang? yep...
would Terry's gf refer to him as an Aussie (khun Australia) or just merely as a Farang?
If I announced to my family I was going to marry an Asian lady (rather than Japanese) I'm sure they would be curious to her nationality...
and wonder at my weirdness for calling her an Asian...
Get my point yet? I do I need to blather on like a school girl?
Like I said, it's not a big issue for me, I don't sweat the small stuff - nor take myself too seriously, plenty of positive things I focused on while in toyland... shagged loads of Asian girls...:bananaman:
^ How many do ya figure?...
^ Not telling...:rolleyes:
In enough shit already...Heh...
^ Yup, pretty much...:)
Here comes trouble...Ahem...Morning Ms Berry...
Yeah, my detractors will be up by now, having their morning sausage and OJ...gotta get their energy levels up before bashing the shite outa Dick! :confused:
Today's falang theme is the flying island of Laputa in Gulliver's Travels...
Remember that thing?...Soi 5, innit?...
You mean the Gent's sausage incident? har har...
^ That's the lad...
Laputa is described as being exactly circular and 4.5 miles (7.2 km) in diameter, giving an area of 10,000 acres (4,000 ha). It was 300 yards (270 m) thick, and comprised a bottom plate of adamant 200 yards thick, above which lay "the several minerals in their usual order", topped with "a coat of rich mould 10 or 12 ft deep".
In shape the upper surface sloped down from circumference to centre, causing all rain to form rivulets into the centre where four large basins half a mile in circuit. These lay 200 yards from the absolute centre. In the centre of the island itself was a chasm 50 yards in diameter continuing at bottom a dome extending 100 yards into the adamantine surface. This dome served as an astronomical observatory, and also contained the lodestone which enabled the island to fly and move above the realm.

You falang guys tink too mutt. :D
New word for my vocab: mui cao. Viet street term for 'white foreigner'. Literal translation: tall nose.
So now you have it: falang, barang, gaijin, mui cao, bule, kano, gringo. There's a 'Z' word that Africans use, but I forgot. If the word falang offends you, choose any of the other words. Heh. :D
...that, or up your daily dose of muff diving to ease the pain... :)Quote:

(n.) vaguely pejorative Cantonese slang for foreigner. Translations differ depending on who you ask. Apparently it was once meant to mean "foreign devil" (an extreme insult), but usually these days is said to mean "ghost man" due to white foreigner's pale skin and is used as a general term to mean foreigner. Gweilos get upset about being called this. Chinese think it's no big deal.
I heard they looked fabulous on you Gweilo...

'Khun Thais' probably face the same dilemma of indifference at calling you farang...:rolleyes:Quote:

Hi za, good morning to ya! :)
Neither "khun thais" nor "pratate farang" is anywhere near as annoying as a person over 12 years of age using the acronym "lol".Quote:
