StreetCowboy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I suppose they say "sjhow transpaency" because it is not really transparent, and there is a lot of smoke and mirrors, so that you cannot see where the envelope went... In a high performance culture, we call that 'pushing the envelope' SC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblether Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Make it Thai related, Hi-So in a country of 60 odd million people there are only about 10,000 that could consider themselves Hi-So. It's embarrassing the amount of people that use the phrase and don't have the first notion of what it means. It would be interesting to see if anyone here could define it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Hi So, defined as someone with a bit of cash, but likely to have little class. Also likely to be spotted in trendy clubs drinking and taking drugs and driving a new car paid for by Mummy or Daddy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest there's enough threads on here that start off with "Why do Thais......" and then go on to list either a solitary example or something that I've never noticed as in " Why do Thais get angry when you correct their English?" Might as well put "Why do Thais explode when you expose them to sunlight?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
