cute local english language inventions

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

IDK I got a chuckle out of that

At the start of an argument: I'm telling you now.....
She doesn't know something: I have no idea...

Guests also comment on her *British* accent and the way she speaks has a little bit of a cockney to it but I can't hear it myself of course.

My cleaner has her English accent down, but only for a few phrases : Fucking cunt, pieces of shit, shut the fuck up. I just don't know where she gets it from.
