A Khmer expression

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

They might think he's a huge dick if they learned the direct translation! Still, I say shut up as well, so it's not always as strong as it sounds on paper.
Parrot, BKL, I was telling the parrot to shut up. Mrs Stroppy would beat me with a stick if I told her to shut up.
yep!

The parrot in question arrived with the ability to scream "WHAT THE FUCK!?" in context, so she'd probably go with that. Interestingly, she was adopted from another missionary family, so I'm guessing their teen aged son had a hobby while his parents were out of the house.

LOL, those missionaries...during my gig at Limkokwing, I got to teach some Korean kids, all offspring of Korean missionaries.

So I'm teaching prepositions of place, and one of them gets to write about 'in'

And he writes on the board...

In Kim Jong Wun's... arsehole...
