Another Why Question.

[Semper]

Why don't Thai people understand irony?

[Jingthing]

Because Thais are like Americans?

Because of a lady mod.

Yep. Everyone loves us, but loves to hate us.

Perhaps, Thai ironic suggestion is lost in translation. Might there be a standard as to how irony is defined?

When I tell the Thai laundry ladies that I want irony, they understand every time.

-2 Don't worry, the topic will be closed very soon by a "lady" mod.

Thais do understand irony.... the confusion is caused by them understanding it as 'ilony' or 'ilonic'

OK, I'm not a lady (some would say I'm not a gentleman either), but this one is off to The Pub too, and please don't forget the rules regarding the dicussion of moderation.

Why don't Farang(s?) appreciate irony?

A lot of people hereabouts find it difficult to differentiate (that was a tough one to squeeze out - I'll try it again for practice - differentiate) irony from sarcasm.

Right, Semper?

Its a bit like the difference between inference and implication...

There is another part of the forum, even less traveled, called "Bedlam" which is where a lot of you belong.
