haveaniceday Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Another case a English word being used in Thai Eng-Rish. It was used a a bad word about some one, I was told it means, 'lying bitch'. Maybe this is a double lost on translation !!! Any know in better words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadish_sweetball Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 <p>I don't know where the 'bitch' in the translation comes from - maybe a Thai person who has listened too much to hip hop or something? The general sense of 'liar', 'fibber' or 'faker' is correct. Personally I have only ever heard it used jokingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikenyoy Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 It's a cute/joking way of saying ตอแหล which is considered to rude . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yep, "strawberry" is avoidance slang for ตอแหล [bullshit], because it incorporates the first syllable of the word. It's often used in a shortened form as สะตอ, too. These avoidance versions are a bit softer, but have just as much potential to cause insult, if you aren't careful to use it with close friends only. http://www.thaivisa....ost__p__1654251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryBird Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 definitely has a negative connotation. have heard my neighbors using it to describe a selfish - bit** in the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarn Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 fight back - say the person is actually 'pen sap-pa-rot' (pineapple). Unless i'm grossly mistaken (and not for the first time...) it means sweet-natured, with erotic implications... AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryBird Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I don't like the woman either , and certainly wouldnt' refer to her as erotic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancali Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I had it explained to me by a Thai person as somebody who appears sweet on the outside, but is actually "sour". Made sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
