What do you think the term "ชวด" is translated from (clue: IT related term)

I think this is the best and the Royal Institute should consider to adopt this term.

As the dictionary gives ชวด as "rat", I reckon it's got to be "mouse" in an IT sense ?

ชวด means to fail in Thai (I think it is spelt like this) maybe talking about a connection failed.

Just a guess

I dont understand

4) ไปรษณีย์ถล่ม - ไปรษณีย์ = mail, ถล่ม = attack (by bomb) - ไปรษณีย์ถล่ม = Mail-bomb

ไปรษณีย์ = mail correct but I thought ถล่ม = collapse or fall down not (attack by bomb)

ระเบิด = bomb

Shouldnt it be ไปรษณีย์ระเบิด

Just out of curiosity

In The Rai!

One interpretation of "ชวด" is "fail" or "miss" Ex. "ฉันชวดไปเที่ยว = I missed that trip"

But it has another meaning.

"ถล่ม" is frequently used with bomb Ex. ถล่มด้วยระเบิด = attack with bomb

In this case, those kids are using it in the sense "ถล่มด้วยระเบิดไปรษณีย์"

Don't be too serious, these terms are just from Thai kids.

Yes, you are correct.

ชวด is the first year in Thai & Chinese astrology year

1) ชวด-หนู (Rat)

2) ฉลู-วัว (Ox)

3) ขาล-เสือ (Tiger)

4) เถาะ-กระต่าย (Rabbit)

5) มะโรง-งูใหญ่ (Dragon)

6) มะเส็ง-งูเล็ก (Snake)

7) มะเมีย-ม้า (Horse)

8) มะแม-แพะ (Goat)

9) วอก-ลิง (Monkey)

10) ระกา-ไก่ (Rooster)

11) จอ-สุนัข (Dog)

12) กุล-หมู (Pig)

So, ชวด is actually "Mouse"

I really hope the Royal Institute will adopt this one.

Ah, I was right! Mouse was going to be my guess too. I promise I made my guess before clicking to this page.
