Guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Is there one? What's the closest Thai expression to "bullshit?" There's got to be better than "go-hok." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that pronounced just the way it looks? What's the turtle alphabet? DOn't the turtles learn the same alphabet the humans do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Petchburi Pete Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 Golden Child According to my wife, it is pronounced "tour lie." However, that is the way they say b.s. in Isaan. I will not tell you how to say it in Bangkok (classical) Thai for the reasons I mentioned under my post: "Don't do this!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 lol... i meant the t that they use is pronounced in the same way they say "turtle" in thai. so it's tor- laa (the laa sort of like a long sound like in lamb or am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 My Thai friends often use the phrase "Kii Moor" in the same context that we use "Bullshit". I'm not sure whether it's meant the same, though I suspect a literal translation is "Pigshit". Anybody else come across this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
