Rook leik dak kmian. Usually, if not always pronounced roleik dak kmian just as mook is usually pronounced mo if not mau. It is used to indicate an extreme degree which cannot be measured, i.e.
look for a number but can't assign one(it's too high) and is always used with an adjective

yap roleik dak kmian-immeasurably(impossibly)difficult (in behaviour)
saa'at roleik dak kmian beautiful beyond all comparison

kraeut kratom- arrogant and yes another fighting word in my neck of the woods if you call someone that.

No, It refers to people who like to steal something from others.
Ex: you have a clearner. You often lost your money and sometimes lost your watch. There is only her who can enter your room. Neang chhbas jea m'nus mean dai mean jerng hoy= she must be a kind of person who like to steal.
