Emuu Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 It's all very well to object to a compliment, but what are the alternatives? Would Ron and others prefer being insulted? Actually the truth may hut even more!!! Imagine walking down the street and having an observant individual ask "How are you you purile, ugly, obese, obnoctious, half witted pommie bastard?", or whatever the actual observations made lead one to. If the choice was mine, I'd rather they lied a little (maybe a lot) and stuck to "hansome man". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2U Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 There's always the basic 'Darling' which can be formed from 'Dah Ling' (or thereabouts) which can be translated as 'Monkey's Arse'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WISteve Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Seems that ol' Ron needs some attitude adjustment. The little brown charmers are only asking him to stop in and spend a bit of money after all. Do I detect a bit of that "glass half full, half empty" controversy? A smile and a laugh back at them will do you some good, buster! ~WISteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwbkk Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 There's some honesty to be heard from the young ladies trying to usher you in though: - hello pohm-pooi, hansum man... - hello chang noi, hansum man... - hello farang, hansum man... etc... we tend to block out that middle adjective, don't we?

Membrane Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Better to be called "han-sum" man, than to be called "hom-san" man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
