Kathoey Culture Luu Language


Pdoggg

Recommended Posts

Milli, a Thai female rapper, adds a spicy twist and naughty taste is by rapping in Kathoey-culture (transgender) jargon called “Luu language,” which involves adding the word ‘Luu’ in front of specific Thai words before reversing it to create a new word with the same meaning. 

In Sud Pang, she says the word “Luay Sui” instead of “suay,” or beautiful.

It appears that Thai ladyboys have their own version of Pig Latin.

Btw, Milli just made the BBC's Top 100 Women list for 2022.

You never know when a few key phrases in Pig Latin will come in handy when mongering in LOS:

owhay uchmay isyay ethay arfinebay ?

owhay uchmay isyay ayay ortshay imetay ? 

owhay uchmay isyay ayay onglay imetay ?
