Guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 It means saucy or impertinent; exceeding the limits of propriety or good manners; improperly forward or bold. Usually heard after making a sexual joke or advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 It means saucy or naughty, more often than not with a sexual undertone. If you make a pun with slight sexual connotations, double-entendre to say it in French, that's 'talueng'. For example, the scenes and puns enacted by those travelling 'likay' troops are often 'talueng' and that's a main part of their popularity. 'Talueng'is not really a bad term, but close to the borderline. If you cross the line, you are 'lamok', obscene. I've been called both countless times and of course deservedly so.

Guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Scum, I've heard them both many times. Talueng and lamok. Can't remember which I've heard the most. Had a rough idea of their meaning. Thanks for the enlightenment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 For anyone who's watched the old Carry On movies from the UK, you may remember Sid James cracking some double entendre with a sexual connotation. Babara Windsor would reply "Saucy!". The Thai word TALEUNG is roughly equivalent to "saucy!" in this context.

whosyourdaddy Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 there is a difference between talung and lamok. Lamok is used in an endearing way and talung can be used in a sexual/joking or angry way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyfarang Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 I have to agree with WYD about the difference between TALEUNG and LAMOK. TALEUNG is an adjective meaning something like "obscene" or "offensive" and can be used in an angry or joking manner to mean "naughty". LAMOK is a noun or adjective meaning more like "lust", "lusty", "frisky", "sexual pleasure" or "naughty", although a more literal translation of "naughty" would be SEUKSON, or SON for short. GRAHAAI LAMOK to crave sexual pleasure KOEI MEE KAEK LAMOK? I once heard my girlfriend ask this of a Thai massage girl in a hotel. (Have you ever had a naughty/lusty customer?). LAMOK is clearly an idiom with no direct translation into english. If you translate TALEUNG as "obscene" you will be right about ninty percent of the time but Thais use this word a lot more frequently than farang.

Guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 I usually recieve this comment from my girlfriend when I use double entendre. The guy who lives next door keeps poultry and I have an endless supply of 'big cock' sentences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
