I added tomatoes, green beans, and shallots to the pork.

The pork is seasoned with fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce, and pepper. I seasoned the eggs with fish sauce and pepper before frying them in a thin layer similar to a crepe. Interestingly, i just talked to a thai person (from bkk) who was telling me the pronunciation was หมันไส้.หมั่นไส is definitely listed in my dictionary so.Kai Yad Sai are Thai omelets stuffed with ground pork and vegetables. i have a vague memory of my mum nibbling my ears as a baby, so maybe this penchant for baby consumption crosses cultures. it's something like ไอ้นี่มันน่าถีบจริงจริ๊ง!Īs far as หมั่นเขี้ยว, when used with a small baby, along with cuddling and หอม ing, perhaps it's close to 'ooh, i could just eat you right up!'. In other situations it might be like 'would you have a look at this guy, he's really asking for it!', for example a classmate starts being provocative, gets called หมั่นไส้, then gets a whole lot of pencils and screwed up paper balls thrown at him. there's no real revulsion, no strong perjorative statement being made, it's just sort of drawing someone's attention to what's going on, something that slightly irks you. Hey neeranam, i think your 'Oh man you got to be kidding me, can you believe this guy?' is one of the best attempts to find a close equivalent so far. OO-EE MAN SAI.MAN SAI JING JING อุ๊ยหมั่นไส้.หมั่นไส้จริงๆ - Oh man you got to be kidding me, can you believe this guy? If someone is trying to suck up to somebody too much (like to the boss, or your mother-in-law, to win Brownie points), people might gossip: He never could find an English equivalent, but said disgusting was not correct. He also indicated an man can say it regarding a female but not to another man, while a female can apply it to both genders.Īnd another: If you watch those Thai comedy shows with the 'feminine' male, you will hear him saying หมั่นไส้ often and flicking his hair.

The mother may say หมั่นไส้Īnother example: An office with secretaries - one secretary is kissing up to the boss and another one shaking her head and glancing at the other secretaries and saying หมั่นไส้ in an exasperated tone. One example: A little girl wearing her mothers shoes and clothes and prancing about. Just had a 10 minute discussion about this with one of the Thai professors here and he had a great deal of difficulty explaining it. (Note that this could be used ironically in English as well.)Įxcellant explanation meadish. it can also be used in a serious non-joking way, in which case it might even mean something 'I hate (that, him, her them'. The person is showing mocking disapproval by saying หมั่นไส้ - but it is ironic in the way that the person saying it often would not mind trading places with the object of their disapproval. also when a couple are showing affection in public (hence 'get a room'), or when somebody is proven to be right (could be after an argument about something). In Thai, it is used jokingly when somebody is displaying something to be jealous of, such as a new car, new clothes, new mobile phone, a special personal privilege etc. in some contexts, 'Get a room, you two' would be appropriate too.

With the right intonation and facial expression (bit of a grin), both '(that's) disgusting' and 'gross' could work.
