Anyone Know This Thai Expression

[Jeddah Jo]

A friend was trying to explain this expression to me. I can't remember much of it but it seemed to start

ยิงเป็ดยิงไก่...

The gist of it was about how if a relationship is too 'sweet' then it is no fun, she was saying sometimes a partner will create a problem just to get some 'passion' in a relationship.

Seemed to strike a chord with some of my experiences anyway. Just going along smoothly and happily is not an option for some Thai girls, unless there is drama and conflict they just ain't happy

Cheers,

JJ.

Sounds like a sweeping generalization to me!

Yes, there are these "drama girls" but I try to keep a healthy distance since I myself prefer Comedy and genuine

juicy love stories and a calm life in general....

Literally - it means "Shoot the duck, choose the chicken".

No idea what that is about but regarding the drama-queen issue; they also exist in the Western culture - more so as far as I'm concerned. One of the many reasons why I am here in the LOS.
