    Why "pukguy jai" and "fun chueng"??? That's just like calling someone "f*ckhead" or something @_@b

    Odd...

    ^mmmhhhhmmm its just like calling a fat person "fai jai" if the "fai jai" is used to being called that by a person then he wouldnt mind BUT if a random person came to him and called him "fai jai" then he can be prepared to be beaten up lol

    I like both english and chinese speakers to call me by my english name. It's fine when my parents call me by chinese and english name.
