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.

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

That's aggravating the situation. They have promised to fix that......but nothing seems to happen.
Oh, it will get fixed, and sorry for the delay, but we have a new IT guru on the scene.

Haha, fair enough, and I don't blame you a bit for being sick and tired of it. It's a pain in the ass, and a special thanks to you for the various screenshots, which of course help us in pinpointing it.

I've always been amused by the use of the word poo. As in you have nose poo, eye poo, ear poo etc.

Also, every body fluid being described as 'your water'.
