It says, "YOU (in Roman script)" "buffalo" in Thai script. Fairly vulgar, but very, very, very commonly used epithet, at least among teenage boys in the upcountry school I taught in a few years ago. One baht per incident would have put me on easy street in a single day.

I think the first letter is a Roman script "I", with "Y" "O" and "U" in there also. Take those out and it spells buffalo in Thai.

Hmm, 'I and you, stuck in the middle of a herd of buffaloes'? :)

Isn't that the lyrics from an old song? Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. But probably not written by a herd of buffaloes... :D

The "I" is another play on words. The insult (apologies to native speakers here) is "ไอ้ควาย" So the "I" is "ไอ้". I suspect some here may be having us on a bit. Nonetheless, that's the story.jap.gif
