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 ? :o

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. :o:D

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. :o
