Thighland in the news again from U.S. politicians.

Previously we had a politician mispronounce Thailand as Thighland out of ignorance.

Now we have a report of a politician INTENTIONALLY mispronouncing Thailand as Thighland to see how compliant female dates are. 

If they corrected his pronunication, it was game over.

Rather revealing behavior. 

Wonder why Thighwan doesn't get this kind of fun action?

Now that the cat is out of the bag, the Thighland gambit is now useless.

Perhaps, men afraid of assertive women can say Singerpore instead?

Or Vietname?

How about Bally for Bali?

 

Feel encouraged to come up with your own date testers.

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis used to pronounce Thai as ‘thigh’ to assess dates, former Yale classmate claims (yahoo.com)

 

 

Fashions change and I think people are getting over the reliance by politicians on the whole anti woke thing rather than serious policies. So often Republicans are a bit weird. He seems weird and horrid. 

I ask them if they like naam falang. ???? 

I want a date who could care less about stuff. I want someone who cares. I am cynical enough for both of us. I think that's why older westerners like thai girls. Big open smile and eyes. They think it's because of the tits and ass which it is a bit of the reason but western men and women too easily see each others flaws and it seems thai ladies are more like a blank canvass. Too blank sometimes. 

I think thats rathist againth people with thpeech impedimenth !!!...  ????

Well it's not Thaiwan for starters
and if the TH in Thailand is properly pronounced there is little or no no difference with Thighland.

No second date for you!

The point is DeSantis and most everyone else in the US that knows that Thailand exists, knows that it is not pronounced Thigh-land.

Youd think a politician would have better things to think about compared to a teenage influencer

Not true. If you believe that you're just revealing your own ignorance. He was reading the autocue and said Thighland but then corrected himself five seconds later.

 

 

When we lived in the US people would ask my wife where she was from.  She would tell them Thailand.  A lot of them would reply, "oh, you're from Taiwan"

Or when asked her name she would tell them Nareerat and some would reply, "Margaret, that's a nice name."

Some still refer to Thaiwan as Formosa.

 

Thaiwan is a more appropriate name, in fact.

 

 

 

If I met someone who spoke of "Thighland", I'd drop them from my social group.

There are already enough morons to deal with in life, I certainly wouldn't want to hang-out with one.

You have a high opinion of US education and geographical knowledge about the world.

This is another example of examining every word Mr Trump spoke. The hypocrisy is staggering considering biden does worse, much worse and doesn't make the headlines.

It is strange how well educated Americans, graduating from Yale and Harvard such as Ron DeSantis and for example Ted Cruz are transformed to complete <deleted> and dumb donkeys when they get older/ or become politicians. If you listen to any of them for more than 30 seconds it is mind blowing how much garbage comes out. And I mean really stupid stuff. Or is it just that you can earn a magna cum laude in America by just being stupid? And that thing with the Thigh food that Ron did just shows a serious flaw in character.

Biden has a lifelong problem with stuttering. Trump says things out of pure ignorance and stupidity.

Stuttering?  More selective outrage I see.

I've been following Biden since the 1980's when I was considering to volunteer for his 1st Presidential campaign.  -At least until I discovered that he is both a moron AND brazen plagerist & liar.  Didn't know about his corruption yet.

 

Need I remind everyone that he stole Labour Party head, Niel Kinnock's speech and life as his own?

 

Then in 2008, Biden laid out this whopper:

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed."

Rather desperate to use Oliver as a "news" source - The TImes is right, he is totally irrelevant and largely forgotten in the UK, where his slow wit but high political bias on TV was exposed by his peers and rejected by traditional conservatives. Those Americans, who seem to enjoy the novelty of a British accent and left wing views, have taken to his so-called humour and he is obviously much more comfortable with his scripted political chat.

 

Oliver now makes millions in the US - they like wasting money - at least he’s off UK TV.

Kinnock, known for his excellent speeches, have always fully supported Biden and states himself Biden made a honest mistake. Biden never writes his own speeches. This was the one and only time he was accused of plagiarism and probably cost him the nomination at the time. Biden do some gaffes sometimes and is well known for them. They are never done in malice or spite unlike just about everything Trump utters. For the other accusations about being a moron, liar and corrupt, please present evidence if you are going to accuse someone of those things. Evidence for Trump being a complete idiot has been out there in just about every appearance he makes.

do you still do that girly giggle and slurp the bottom of your milkshake   ????

The old Trump deflection again.

Wish my Thai wife was blank. She's more complex than Hadron Collider!

When I saw the title "I like Thigh food",  I thought this was about one of those Nyotaimori restaurants in Bangkok.

Sure... That wasn't the only plagerized speech he gave during his first Pres. attempt.

"Honest mistake"?  Like how he also outright LIED about his educational and professional accomplishments?  

What one man did in the 1980's, has you trying to jump 40-years to explain them away?

Yeah, yeah, it's always Trump's fault...

You know -- the topic here.
