tonyP Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 So... it's Sunday morning and a particular group from Bangkok have just checked out. A group of corporate Thai Gentlemen and the female company they have chosen to have entertain them for the weekend. As I observe the departure I can't help but think of TF and the regular bashing of Farang men that seek the company of prostitutes in Thailand. This particular group of females this morning have been flown in from BKK. I see them walk to their car with designer handbags, clothes and fragile looking white skin. They prance through the lobby with their noses in the air and don't lower themselves to even acknowledge my hard working staff that are submissive in service. As I observe from the corner, the token farang - I can't help but dwell on what makes these girls think they are any better than; a) The honest hardworking people that are carrying their luggage, driving their cars and cleaning their rooms. Any other 'working girl' doing what she has to to live the life she has become accostomed to living. These are the girls that grace the malls of Paragorn and Gaysorn, that dine in finest restaurants and stay in the finest hotels. And yet, they have just had their name pulled out of a hat to see which ageing corporate gent they will be required to service for the weekend. The real cherry on the cake for me though, is the middle aged, podgy lady boy that ensures they are seated safely in the vehicle and luggage has been taken care of and that the bills are paid. A POLO Shirt and Deck Shoes will never be enough to disguise a Mamma San and he/she would certainly look more comfortable in the foyer of a massage parlour or at the base of any Go Go stage. So this week, when I sip a few whiskeys with a few of my bellmen, or share som tam with my housekeepers I will praise them for their weeks work and their committment. And I will smile to myself thinking that for all their pretentious illusions, this weeks Bangkok troupe have probably had to perform a few more degrading tasks then making beds and carrying bags to earn their salary. And I would rather be on the end of a mop then on the end of some strangers knob to pay for my designer sunglasses! By any other name - a spade is still a spade and a hoe, is still a hoe!

zeusbheld Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 By any other name - a spade is still a spade and a hoe, is still a hoe! a garden tool by any other name... at the end of the day, will still reek of stank old thai guy with a dye job, and the unspeakable acts said garden tool has been commissioned to perform. you'll need those jimmy choo sunglasses to cover up your eyes when people ask where the money comes from, honey. they know he's not your "boyfriend."

grezzzy_greer Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Nice post except for : Hoes are bladed tools used to: agitate the surface of the soil around plants, to remove weeds pile soil around the base of plants (hilling); create narrow furrows (drills) and shallow trenches for planting seeds and bulbs; generally dig and move soil (e.g. harvesting potatoes), and chop weeds, roots and crop residues. On the other hand a "*****" is a term usually used to mean a "prostitute". The word "hoe" is now a slang term that seems to have been coined by the poor and uneducated who smply don't know how to spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEDANTIC; to be overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, esp. in teaching. :wink: One of the joys of being plus 25 but sub 30 (or thereabouts) is that it is socially acceptable to introduce slang terminology into otherwise reasonably well constructed conversation. I guess if it was a new cuisine it would be called - English Fusion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submissiv Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Saw a group of them in Tapas last night as well. Did not dance, did not smile did not do anything but put ice in the glass for the men and order more booze. Ahh and yes tried to stop the thing inside their noose to come out.

One of the joys of being human is that I can be pedantic...I guess attention to minute detail comes from my engineering background... but of course you have the right to express yourself in this way if you wish...

GermanUsa Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Why is it "unspeakable acts" or "degrading tasks" if a hoe does it, but when a girlfriends does it, it is "consensual acts" or "having fun"? It would seem to be a consensual situation and they might have been having fun too. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Sooooooo... you were jealous then or what? Maybe they were just 'friends' after all. Or perhaps it was a big porno shoot. Not that anyone watches porn you understand. That's just degrading filth too isn't it? Does indeed take all sorts. Keep us posted if they come back. Be interested to hear if they make a sequel. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the original poster was complaining about the attitude of these working girls, not about their occupation. I agree, even though I know I am FAR superior than anyone else on the planet (this one, Earth) especially president Bush, I always know that the people that scrape gum from the underside of restaurant seats and people who chase flying objects (balls, pucks etc.) around endlessly (sports nuts) are important too. So I would NEVER carry my new Gucci handbag in front of them to make them feel inferior, I only carry it at night when no one is looking or in locations where everyone else has one too. By the way, fellow Gucci owners, IF you ever bothered to read the instructions that came with your Gucciwear, YOU would know this too! :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...I said it was probably coined by people who did not know how to spell - but it is certainly used by others who I thought would know better....as to the spelling - I was simply quoting that used by the OP.

LakeGeneve Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 By any other name - a spade is still a spade and a hoe, is still a hoe! a garden tool by any other name... " Saw the title and thought this is interesting.... must be a new upmarket Hardware Store in Paragon - gold plated garden tools and the like. I guess the increasing usuage of Ho is some american cities or communities must make for some interesting reactions when some old hobby farmer calls the local hardware store to check if they have any Hoes in stock??? And Santa's at Christmas time I assume have to be careful when spreading the cheer that no mothers misunderstand them (or young kids playing GAT3!).
