Thainglish Phraseology

My Thai GF has a cute habit of strangling english sayings or phrases.
My favourite is:

"Doan stat". instead of don't start, usually announced as she narrows her eyes and wags the finger at me. It make me laugh and i usually make things worse by laughing.

My wife always tells people on the phone that she is lucky because I am kind and horny.

I have to explain she actually means honest rather than horny.

Are you sure?

Littl'un persists in saying hire car (higher) for pick ups and cars that are high up & difficult to get into. I don't know how many times I've explained that 'hire', which is how it sounds when used with 'car' is a rental car, and that he shouldn't use 'higher' with 'car' because of the way it sounds.
