Perhaps a little off topic for this thread, but it seems to fit with the above: I have lived in a few countries, where people (typically the teenager age) will just try to mess with you for being a foreigner, and will say stupid things like "I'm going to fuck your mouth." Are there common phrases that people say to barangs, with a smile on their faces, to get a laugh with their friends? And how do you respond, to let them know you understand and for them to lose face?

"doh mee yoo noau" comes to mind but it's ever only said for fun, never in a nasty way. It roughly translates as "how long have you had pubes".

Had it shouted out at me on a few occasions when hashing out in the sticks, replying in a way that shows you understand results in a good laugh for all.

There are options: "chom!" "Ognh?" "Preah euy/veuy!" "Oy!"

Joon wrote:"Choy yak mae vear" comes to my mind.

Which is literally "fuck a giant your mother"

That's funny, and surprisingly mild compared to the Spanish who might well say. Me cago en tu madre que es una puta in a similar situation.

Point taken, it would get unnerving after a while, it was just funny to me reading it for the first time and thanks Joon.

That's a serious question for Joon by the way. Everywhere my Vietnamese mother in law uses gioi oi (choi oi more often for southerners) gets a fuck somebody or something from Khmer granny. Not that the kid knows yet what it means but it's unnerving.

A Cambodian male or female gets either tickled or poked in the ribs or gets a quick shock by being spooked. They immediately come out with about 4 words in very quick succession and will repeat the same words if poked/tickled again, I've asked what it means but they just smile and wave it off. What are they actually saying? I cant remember the sentence as it's spoken very quickly.
