Gaeng means soup right? As in gaeng keow waan. Then Indians the word curry means sauce I believe. Correct me if I am wrong, the word curry is an english word that doesnt exist in India. From the word kari according to googen.

But the burning question is, how did Hip write Thaj instead of Thai. Beer O'clock came early? I type from my phone and i have fat fingers. I know the feeling.

Not wishing to cast aspersions on the two comments you made. But they sort of allude to the fact that you may have at some time had a very close personal and physical bond!!! Perchance a sort of Queens-land custom?

A word which the Royal Institute Dictionary defines as: โสเภณี (กร่อนมาจากคำว่า ช็อกการี ซึ่งเพี้ยนมาจากคำในภาษาฮินดี chokri ว่า เด็กผู้หญิง) which I found interesting. It also has the "curry" meaning, giving the origin as Tamil.

Gaeng means soup right? As in gaeng keow waan. Actually, not. แกงพะแนง /kɛɛŋ phánɛɛŋ/ is hardly a soup, being more like a thick sauce, and แกงคั่วกลิ้ง /kɛɛŋ khûa klîŋ/ is completely dry, just diced meat with spices and kaffir lime leaves. I believe a more accurate definition is a dish which starts with a paste of pounded herbs and spices (เครื่องแกง /khrʉ̂aŋ kɛɛŋ/). เครื่องแกง is usually translated "curry paste", which suggests it's spicy, but the technique's also used for non-spicy dishes. One of my favourite Thai foods, as you say very dry. Thankfully my mrs is an adventurous type and isnt afraid of mixing things up in the kitchen, she finely chopped onions, cucumber, tomatoes and pineapple and left it on top of the curry for about 5 minutes to give the juices time to seep into it, bloody lovely. Bit of an Indian twist here, just pour some natural yoghurt on top, lovely.

Tamil is a language of southern India. (The Tamils are the ones with the very brightly painted temples and very dark skins.) Hindi is the language of north/central India (and is one of the country's two official languages, along with English). The languages are quite different. The "curry" meaning comes from Tamil; the "prostitute" meaning comes from Hindi.

The above is polite, one of my favs, อีตัว, more suited to your local market.
