khunsanuk Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi, Ridiculous. How many words are there that are perfectly fine in one language yet insulting / vulgar in another? Must be thousands. Maybe we should ask all girls here who have 'porn' in there name to change it as well? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USVirgin Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I agree with KS. PC taken to its most stupid level. I went to school with a well known basketball player named Kiki, my brother was nicked the same, affectionately, by family members. The Flip side understand the difference. Just don't try getting a 'TITI' license plate. If you happen to be a swinging Richard, 'DICK' is okay I suppose. Branding a car with a slang name is another matter. Auto makers should be more careful about that. I thought the Pajero thing was hilarius when Crash999 posted about it years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I work with a Korean girl named Kee. Should I tell her what her name means in Thai? Agree with KS too. What a word means in one language has no bearing on what it means in another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 $2995 for a car? Should be 'flying off the shelves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 My first car was an AMC Hornet wagon. I didn't want it, but my mom was subsidizing me on the purchase from a neighbor so I didn't have much choice. It was known jokingly amongst me and my friends as the 'fuckwagon', as if any girl would ever venture into it. It was also called a 'rustbucket' after I owned it for a year.
