March 10, 200521 yr QUOTE(Neeranam @ 2005-03-10 20:45:26)Neeranam means "anonymous". Not sure why I picked it. I didn't want some people who were already members to know who I was, but I know most of them know now! Anyone know why my bitty at the bottom that used to be in Thai script has turned into some weird language? It was gobbledegook on my computor as well,so Iclicked on 'view' at the top,then clicked on Thai language and it turned to Thai Cheers Lampard! I just did the same and it is back to normal. Congrats, BTW chelsea's win over my team the other day. It could have gone either way. the 2 best teams in Europe, without a doubt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> cheers
March 10, 200521 yr although many ppl try to find some meaning in my nick - there is none. coz as I know nick doesn't suppose to have any - especially in "virtual" existence like on-line chat rooms or forums. even in real life - for ex. many thais give/ take some nicks just coz of sound , not the meaning of nick (can't even call as word) - and if one asks them what does their nick means, they just shrug. I'd just hit same character few times .... so those concerned / interested - believe it or not, it has no any meaning.
March 10, 200521 yr mine is not the thai meaning of crab or grandad, depending on the tone or your phonetics but a childhood nickname that my family still call me (even though I am nearly 30! )
March 11, 200521 yr Mine's obvious too, Englishman. I didn't put much thought into that, as I wasn't expecting to hang around for long. I used to be spacemaff, but didn't log on for a while and forgot my password, I had also changed e-mail accounts, so couldn't retrieve it either. When I first started using internet chatrooms a few years ago I chose the handle spaceman for no particular reason. My nickname is Maff, so when I started noticing other people with the handle spaceman I evovled into spacemaff. Will probably get banned for having two nicks now................
March 11, 200521 yr Mine is self explanatory... and I think the longer I live and work in Thailand, the more "jai dee" I become.I used to get soooo frustrated... all to no avail, as I'm sure you guys all know already. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think mine is self-explantory as well... but I did have a question about yours. Have you ever asked a Thai what he/she thought regarding calling yourself jai dee as opposed to someone else calling you jai dee? Just curious if the response is the same as I received a long time ago about that very subject. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am well aware of the double meaning attached to being "good hearted" in the sense of being freely giving of money, if that's what you mean John. Is there another one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, not really. Back quite awhile ago, I asked Thai friends if it would be ok to say that about myself and they said no. That it could only legimately be said by others about you. That anytime someone who said it in reference to themselves was considered too grandiose or even conceited. A braggard, so to speak. Like Thai politicians that say "Oh, look at me. I'm so good." Didn't know you were aware of that, but assuming not, or maybe it's just something in my own experience. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good point. Some years ago, when I was a newbie university teacher here, I printed some name cards with 'Ajarn' in front of my name. Thankfully, a friend clued me in by telling me that wasn't really appropriate. Since then, I've never referred to myself as 'Ajarn' (except in the internet news groups for the past 12 years...) In public conversations, I refer to myself now as a retired teacher (kruu). Most Thais who know me will call me 'Ajarn' in conversation, but it's never been at my suggestion. It's their own idea. But, I do take it as a sign of respect, and I try to be worthy of such respect in my words and actions, as best I can. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes, I chuckle everytime I hear a newbie teacher, working part-time at ECC teaching 1st graders, refer to themselves as "ajarn"......
March 11, 200521 yr Yep, lots of them around. Although I would like mention that the senior "Ajarn" who posts on TV has a nice pool!

March 14, 200520 yr Pandit is a fairly common Thai name, and was given to me by a Thai because I would not tell them my real name, which is Bradley. But the Thai's say 'badly' so I got this name given to me. It is the same root as 'pundit' and means 'knowledgable one' 'learned one' or 'headache'. Trouble is they now call me 'Bandit'. Can't chuffing win. 35 is not part of my name - it's just TV would not accept 'pandit' alone. I'm also known as Pnadit, as I usually press enter b4 realising I mistyped. Post 501
March 14, 200520 yr mine in aboriginal means like to drink beer <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Funnily enough, I had a nickname in the early '70's when Don Revie used to manage Leeds United (used to be a football team). As I came from Leeds, I was nicknamed by some bright spark "Don Bevvy". Can't understand why. My nickname on here is so booooorring. My Thai wife's maiden name.
