[Lorry]

One of the most widely used (by farangs) "Thai" words.

 

Spelling in Thai?

Etymology?

Thais without connection to farang-oriented prostitution don't know this word.

Do foreigners who are not associated with the Thai prostitution scene and don't live in Thailand understand this word? Native English speakers? Others?

 

I watched a movie about Thailand yesterday (not in English), that was made for the European market. 

They regularly used this word, so I thought, is this such an international technical term like "computer", understood in every language? And from which language does it originate from?

You're joking right? The expression in known, and used, virtually Worldwide

Not joking at all.

Thx for teaching me, I didn't know.

I doubt my family "back home" know it. And the "regular" Thais I know don't know it.

 

Do you know which language does it come from?

And how do you spell it in Thai?
