Question for butterfly blonde, what does E-sandan actually mean ? Cheers. |
I never actually got to find out but a few Thai women have told me it's really bad, perhaps worse than some others.
E' for female and Buk' for male are in a way, a way of bellitling someone, almost the opoposite of respectful versions for people older and (perhaps) higher status, like Pee + Ay
So if a ladies names was Mee, you might say Pee Mee which would be respectful, E' Mee would not.
A man called be called Pap, becomes Ay'Pap but not good to say buk instead of Ay.
So a few insults revolve around using Buk & E' before the actual insult.
E' parrrp (or spell pawp)= kind of similar to saying fucking idiot
Buk' parrrp - male version of above
Thai's sometimes use the 2 above in jest, you will sometimes hear these appear in live stage acts involving Katoeys, like at a Morlam concert. It might be ok to let your thai friends know that you are aware of them but not good to speak them in public.
Other than those using Buk & E', some of my thai friends would laugh to hear me say 'mar see mair mung'
Which means 'your mother fucks dogs'
