New Thai Vobulary


Mekong

Recommended Posts

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.

 

Weng Bullshit

Mai Weng Dont Bullshit Me

Phom Mai Weng It wasn't my fault / I am not talking Bullshit

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.

Well, that's how slang starts.

 

I've learned some new Thai too. อันธพาล, an-ta-paan (hooligan) ทรราช, tor-ra-raat (tyrant) and อาละวาà¸â€, aa-la-waat (to run amok) to name a few.
