Mekong Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 As with any major event new words often enter the vocabulary and the current situation in Thailand is no differant. Due to Dr Weng's constant reply of "It Wasn't us" his name is now a slang verb for Bullshit or Blame depending on context.

Mekong Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 LK, If it was a joke I would be more than proud in taking credit for making it up, but this slang has started to become part of the day to day vocabulary of what I would define as middle class white collar Bangkokians .... well at least amongst my wife and her associates.
