Well, I see your point, to a point, but I considered that the fact that  Duangchalerm, a murderer of a police officer went on to become an officer in the RTP, because he "was skilled at using a pistol",  and the other Wanchalerm went on to lesser fame as Minister of Clean Toilets to be entertaining in a dark, Thailand sort of humour..

sure , the subtlety of the "skilled at using a pistol", the "Minister of Clean Toilets" is real Thai (strange) humour and would rate highly on some of the intellect game shows running all day in Thailand.

Whatever your esoteric interpretation of the word, the writers are, in fact, using the word correctly. We're in the 21st century. The word means the same as bribes but with gifts rather than money. It's you who needs the English lessons, DA.

 

Check yourself before you criticize.

Yours and their misuse derives from the USAs obsession of abusing real English with meaningless slang as a language.

If it has meaning, it's not meaningless, DA. 330 million versus 55 million. You gave up your empire well over half a century ago since your socialist impulses and need to stick up for Poland marginalized your global sway. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be able to teach the language abroad so you can bang your skeezy whores for pennies on the dollar.

You're welcome.

Which is typical of the meaningless slang I was talking about.
