Good one Surapong!!
Then again your signature could mean...
Elephant sh_t, like beetles!!
....and, yes, I do know it doesnt mean that.
it's more like grasshopper, not beetles.

"telling a food vendor that you "tawng gaan" some pork fried rice is the equivalent of stepping up to the McDonald's counter and announcing "Madame, I require a Happy Meal."
This one is worthy of consideration...I'm gonna print it and hang it on the wall as a poster.....classy

Caronte, don't bother. His post is incorrect.
'Thong Gaan' is the polite form of 'want' and not necessary of 'require' or 'need'.

Dorkter L,
In re the public opinion of me in this forum: though I’ve often bluntly asserted that I never came here looking to make friends or boost my popularity, I have to assert that you are obviously as blind as you are deaf. Everyone else involved in this micro-exchange so far seems to be laughing with me, not at me. There certainly isn’t anyone here shouting me down on your behalf. Until you can rally one or two who will, I can only entreat you, and I hope this isn’t too deep in the dict for you: “fan pai ter”.
You, on the other hand, haven't shown you've got the stones to answer my translation challenge, and instead insist on continuing to display the language and personality challenges you face all by yourself. One can only conclude that you are a simpering dolt, sir -- and your insistence on proving it is the only thing, other than your wildly misplaced self-confidence in your language skills, that you've ever shown yourself to be brave about in these quarters.
As to the tawng gaan issue, I won't argue any further. “Mai chum pen.” Your ignorance announces itself so boldly as to make any further underlining unnecessary. Instead, I will explain my signature for you; let me save you the brow-sweat. It is a term from Thai politics, and it means (as Abrak correctly translated in a pm) "Ride an elephant (to) catch a grasshopper." Its political connotation has to do with the overkill-like actions sometimes taken by a clearly more powerful opponent to quash the campaign efforts of a clearly much less capable one. I originally adopted it while thinking about the various exchanges I've had here with you. If anyone here wants to accuse me of thundering in to dance on your brittle little carapace every time you open your mealy mouth, I’m ready to accept that charge. But I seriously doubt there’s anyone here who would deny that it isn’t your bug-juice that ends up all over my feet every time we tussle.

Your replies are getting too difficult for me to comprehend. I read it three times but your charade of words seem to me to come from someone who's been in an asylum just a little too long.
Fact is that (again) your comments were misplaced.
Period.

It amuses me that anyone can come to the conclusion that anyone is tone deaf or unable to pronounce correctly purely from the inexact science of transliteration.
Very entertaining though....I know who I'm laughing at.

dr -- why doesn't it surprise me that you're having trouble comprehending anything?
yurune -- I was using "tone deaf" in this context figuratively, and meant it to apply to DrL's inability to "hear" when and why one might or should use "tawng gaan", (i.e. when one "needs" or "requires" something beyond a mere "want") as opposed to "aow"or "yak dai". to even such minor and completely everyday distinctions in usage as this, the Dr is clearly tone deaf.
my figurative use of "tone deaf" could also apply to, say, someone can't follow a thread. which is another of asking: from the point at which I entered this thread, when was pronunciation, or the vaguries of transliteration, ever an issue?
laughing often gets in the way of listening. (or, if my use of "listening" is too figurative for you, "reading".)

You indicate that I am tone-deaf? Just simple because you believe you're right while you are not?
Have you ever considered being tone-deaf? Guess not!

urine-eh: thanks. I enjoy concessions. last refuge of the defenseless. for an elsewhere ostensibly intelligent member of this forum, you dissappoint us all with your hasty retreat.
dr.: talk about insensible...
giving up is so easy, eh boys?
thanks for proving my points, fellas.
btw, no idea how that idiot icon snuck into my last post. I hardly need blinking cartoonicons to make my points.
