For quite some time my partner said cham o lurn for chameleon, which I liked so much I didn't correct for a while. If ever it does come up in conversation now, I always say it.

She needs to listen to more Culture Club.

Good recommendation, but it sounds like this one comes & goes?

My wife speaks excellent English. She has picked up the habit of adding low level profanity (which of course she claims I am the damnable inspiration)and adding them to a Khmer idiom translated into fluent English. Here is just one example.

"Why the hell are you staring at me like a damned water buffalo looking at a TV?"

Not from Cambodia but sticking to the theme and quite funny:-

I was having a general chit chat with a Thai woman married to a British guy during which she mentioned that her husband always has "fishing ships" for dinner on Mondays. I asked her to say it again slowly and she definitely said "fishing ships".

A Foreign Affairs Officer at a Chinese university (FAO - a liaison for employed foreign teachers) used to say, "No. You cunt", as in "Can I xxxxxxxx?", "No. You cunt."

A Japanese girl had learnt some English, but not 100%.

When she had had enough to eat, she would say "I'm fool."

But you explained that if she listened to Australians speaking in the Queensland dialect it would sound similar to what Kiwi from the south island would say if he wrote it in Latin with the use of a french translator and an irish dictionary.

Win some lose some.

Thanks for translating some ACE lessons into something I can understand.

My wife constantly harps on at me with with, "You not have other girl, you not have other girl, I find out I kill you." There's more bollocks comes out the more hammered she gets, I presume this thread is about their sober comments

A little different.

I met two girls just after they came to town looking for work. I have gone to restaurants and other places with them, sometimes with just one of them. A few times I took her on the back of my bicycle. As we were going along on the bicycle she said, "people are looking at us."

They both got jobs quickly, as they are nice girls and speak English well. Their families bought them motorbikes, so they now have their own transport.
