So, What Actually Is The Word/s For Slut?

[Wizzard of Oz]

I was reading this post, and thought a new thread was more appropriate to ask:

S what is the closest word for 'slut' ?

Just the standard word 'slut'. Obv offensive, but not specifically trying to learn how to be the 'most' offensive like a jerry springer episode type phrase such as 'skanky hoe' or anything.

I'm told there are many words and they are all slight variants meaning slightly different things. So, some info would be cool.

Cheers,

WoZ

สำส่อน although it also means promicuous. But in Thai, a girl described as สำส่อน is labeled similar to English's slut

[TonyBkk]

well if its a girl or a ladyboy thay would use อีดอก, but its not really a word Thai guys would say

[longway]

a woman can be jai (M) ngaai (F) ie 'easy'

[qualtrough]

I am not sure if I can spell it correctly in Thai, but the word for Rhinocerous, Raad, is another word for slut. I think it is แรด, but I am too lazy to get off my arse and look it up. Sometimes used in the phrase, Raad tam soi, แรดตามซอย, loosely translated as slut from the soi.

just revisit and notice my mis-spelling of promiscuous.

there are different words to use. but this is NOT a word to use lest we can get hurt , for it is really strong. if she has a boyfriend he may stab you for saying that! among bg this may be used among themselves - but that is their business.

jai (M) ngaai (F) ie 'easy' and แรด are less offensive.

You can't get much more offensive in English than slut and I reckon กะหรี่ karee is about the equivalent. fighting talk if used carelessly.

Wow! That IS really offensive.

If one uses that word, one better be in a defensive posture with his guards up for something that might be thrown at him!

Depending on the listener, if she is really a prostitute, she may be able to bite her tongue and swallow the blood. But if she is not a prostitute, but a slut in her behavior (say a student who sleeps around for fun); I think she is really going to take issue with that.

Speaker Beware!

Yeah, I'm not looking to be overly polite. I wouldn't say it to the person, but rather about someone. I don't think I really want to say they are easy, cuz easy just means u can convince them without too much effort. I am looking more for someone who tends to hook up with a lot of various people. promiscuous sound close to what I want, but of course 'slut' is a little more vulgour and sounds closer to what it means that the word 'promiscuous' which sounds more polite than what it actually is. I am looking for something descriptive more than having a concernt about the degree of offensiveness - cuz obv it will not be polite, to say the least.

So which of these sounds most appropriate for that?

สำส่อน (săm-sòn)

กะหรี่ (gà rèe)

อีดอก (ee-dòk)

[Orion76]

You must really like this girl to put in all this effort

Sir, in earnest, who are you to judge with such harsh words, how many people another human being can have intercourse with?

'Tis disheartening to see a person so young, yet so obviously incapable of freeing himself from these stale, old moral platitudes constructed for an oppressive, controlling patriarchal society of moralist bigots quivering in their boots at the threats of brimstone and hellfire, and so willing and ready to condemn others at the drop of a hat.

Are you perchance a reincarnated cardinal of the Spanish inquisition? A righteous pilgrim from the Salem witch trials, sporting irregular-looking headgear ?

Judging from the incoherent nature and erroneous spelling of your post, no doubt your bigotry would still defend your own right to drug yourself down and post requests to aid you in your crusade against what you allege to be, immoral conduct, of a poor Thai lady who is attempting to have some fun before she is too old.

It is my firm belief that any woman and man should be free to engage in healthy, creative, arousing and inspiring intercourse with a score, yea, a company! of other individuals if they so choose. And nor you, nor I, have the moral authority to point fingers at them for doing so.

Kindly grant me the courtesy of giving this post due consideration before deciding on your actions, Sir. That is all I ask.

I have to agree with this!

[Wizzard of Oz]

The reason that I explained (which weary's lack of brain power was unable to comprehend) is that I would like to be able to express myself. Which is the entire point of learning a language. What is the point of learning a language if you can not express your thoughts. If you really want to debate about whether one should be able to express opinions that are not polite, go and enjoy your intellectual masturbation somewhere away from where I am trying to do something practical such as learn thai.

My question is:

If one cannot accept learning even some basic manners, adapt to cultural sensitivities, or take the time to reflect over one's own prejudices without lashing out in aggressive tirades, it is in my opinion a far better course of action to remain silent, lest one, as it were, come off as an impudent nincompoop, not to say buffoon.

From the language standpoint, all 3 words can really hurt someone badly, if that is the intent. But as other posters stated, the speaker may want to be sensitive about the recipient's feeling upon hearing or knowing one is the target of such strong words.

The hurt from such simple words may be felt for a long time ....

[Joel Barlow]

สำส่อน (săm-sòn) - haven't encountered that...

กะหรี่ (gà rèe) - well, maybe beyond slut

อีดอก (ee-dòk) - may I please suggest, any word beginning this way be meticulously avoided?

It's what the Akha were called (and translated as "shameless beggars")...

and I find, in the roundabout way of Thai language, anything can be poitely expressed given sufficient thought and attention to how it might be expressed in roundabout way... Thais are quite used to that! One doesn't have to be as direct as

many "Americans" often like to be...

If you need to express something to someone who needs to hear it, there will be time. Otherwise, smile and leave,

and live to socialize another day!!!

sohn - isn't that a word for whorehouse? fine maybe for the low-class, or those expecting to leave right soon...

weary, I like your style and sentiments. Who are we to elevate ourselves to such a position as to cast judgement on others according to our limited perception of their lives?

If you cannot say something good about someone then 'tis better, and more noble, to say nothing.

Could we close down this thread now? Or, move it to the Pattaya bar-bia forums?

The word slut isn't what the OP is looking for. The woman in question is simply a prostitute, which is quite obviously the only reason he ever met her in the first place.

In any event, none of it seems very germane to the language forum.
