July 18, 201213 yr I reckon the best insult i've heard in the last few years is 'cheese eating surrender monkeys'. Amusing, a bit stupid, but a bit close to the truth. To our resident Thai language and culture experts, what are the best ( funniest ) insults you have heard between Thais? I bet this rich language throws up a few good ones'.
July 18, 201213 yr Author Are you french? Oh oh, are you saying that one Thai will insult another Thai by asking, 'are you French?' Gawd, that's a low blow.
July 18, 201213 yr Either french or "cheese eating surrender monkey" same same. Might find a nicer word for the monkey part...
July 18, 201213 yr Author As I said it was amusing and a bit stupid. The topic is good Thai insults. I bet there are a few.
July 18, 201213 yr This is in my opinion the finest cheese I have ever tasted... The best I can do, as I know nothing of insults and the like.
July 18, 201213 yr Hmm...better get in on this thread quick...(doesn't seem real "Thailand related") but.... Keep in mind I have no particular disdain for the French, but one particular Englishman made a comment a few years ago on Thaivisa (I forget who said it) that I always found particularly amusing: What's the difference between French Vanilla and regular Vanilla? In French Vanilla, the secret ingredient is cowardice. Badumpump. I thought it was funny.
July 19, 201213 yr If take out the "surrender" bit, I would have thought this was really a compliment to monkeys. any species with a brain would love cheese
July 19, 201213 yr i suppose we have been lucky that we have been able to fight our last few wars as away fixtures, and when times are hard, wait until our colonial boys can come to lend a hand. SC
July 19, 201213 yr Bashing the English is much more fun, its not fun when everyone is in agreement about something like in case of the French.
July 19, 201213 yr Why do I get the feeling that this is going to turn into a French bashing thread? Why do I get the feeling this is going to be closed... It should anyway, or else consistency on this ... oh, wait.
July 19, 201213 yr OK I'll get things back on track............. the first two years with my wife when I thought she was calling me "darling" but because of her accent it wasn't quite right..........I later found out that she was actually calling me........"duk ling" which means monkeybum, and I thought I had a wicked sense of humour, she definitely out-trumped me there.
July 19, 201213 yr Bashing the English is much more fun, its not fun when everyone is in agreement about something like in case of the French. There was an article in Der Spiegel about London and the Olympics and it was highly uncomplimentary, I went on to look at the readers comments section expecting the pro-British/anti-German brigade to be out in force but no, almost a thousand readers agreed with the article that London and The Olympics are/will be a disaster - so it looks as though everyone is in agreement about England as well as France: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2175277/Germans-laugh-Olympic-disaster-magazine-brands-2012-Games-big-soggy-mess.html
July 19, 201213 yr I'm Dutch so please bash me a bit too else i feel left out. And of course there isnt anything good to say about those bloody Islanders. The only good thing they ever did is send over their convicts to Australia to start that glorious country. Back to crazy thai insults... i think if your called hansum man you'd better start to worry and are probably the opposite.
July 19, 201213 yr Are you french? That is certainly one of the hardest insults to take. Try calling an Aussie a "pom" or a "kiwi" and make sure you've got your running shoes on.
July 19, 201213 yr Are you french? That is certainly one of the hardest insults to take. Try calling an Aussie a "pom" or a "kiwi" and make sure you've got your running shoes on. But aren't Aussie's just Poms with criminal genes ?

But aren't Aussie's just Poms with criminal genes ? Correct, and they still have The Queen, and a Union Jack on their flag
July 19, 201213 yr Are you french? That is certainly one of the hardest insults to take. Not as bad as being accused of coming from Hartlepool.

July 19, 201213 yr Are you french? That is certainly one of the hardest insults to take. Not as bad as being accused of coming from Hartlepool. What do you reckon the monkey's last words were? SC
