English slang in use in Cambodia
Who decided that Sihanoukville can be referred to as "Snooky" ? I don't write this to insult a certain group, which seems to use it frequently, I ask about its historical origins.

Check with those who update the OECD
* Snookyille, Shitville [etc.] References to Sihanoukville / Kompong Som,a Cambodian seaport and resort
Check out the OECD entries for words like *fuck* and *cunt* and *fisting* and *cottaging*

Norodom Sihanouk was referred to as "Snooky" by diplomats in the early 1960s (not to his face), according to Kenton J. Clymer in his 2 volume study of US/Cambodian relations.HighwayBomber wrote:Who decided that Sihanoukville can be referred to as "Snooky" ?
