kiakaha Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 What Thai words or sayings do you find funny? With my limited Thai I know there's a lot out there that we all can learn by having some fun .my favorite is 'uhhh-ahh' ... this mean 'ya, ya, i know' any thai words spoken by foreigners that cant read/write/pronounce thai adequately...i sometimes chuckle at. I have always found ชักว่าว amusing.Literally means "pulling your kite to and fro" or "flying your kite"...slang for male wanking.My wanking action is NOTHING like my kite action LOL Thanks kiakaha for letting us know, too much info. May be you need a Thai kite lesson. Just watch this guys physical movements....i think one only wanks like that in the Eden club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptuan Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 fuk = squashdum = black prik = chili The word for black is actually closer to "dahm" (between a short "u" and an "a" as in "palm") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaiYaang Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 jim/jem จิ๋ม slang term for vagina /Jim went home. he/hee หี bad term for vagina / He is not here right now. I hear/I here ไอ้เหี้ย very bad word I guess. I hear you. Just don't say it to someone name U I know you will say the spelling is not correct. Writing and saying it is not the same, close enough.

blindinbothears Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 The one that always gets me is the Thai word for the verb 'practice'... ฝึกหัด or 'feuk had' for non-Thai readers. The transliteration doesn't do it justice (as aforementioned by another poster) but ask a Thai person to say it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
