Hey, TG, Why do you have so many 55555s in your posts? I have watched and thought it would become clear to me over time. But...it hasn't. So please shed some light on this so I don't feel so dense.

In Thai language, the number "5" is pronounced like "ha". So, 555 is ha ha ha.

Kind of like LOL in English.

Ha! I mean..5!

I knew there was something behind that I just didn’t understand.

Straightup I thought it because she was posting on an international phone of some sort. Holy crap I've probably thought that for years if not a decade.

TG shared this several months ago. Pay attention, boys!

Don't worry. TG, I'll whip them into shape and have them paying attention to all your posts.

LOL, you're right.

I refuse to believe you guys don't speak Thai.

[Mik]

Just out of curiousity, TG, is there any number in Thai that is pronounced 'Bwah'? Like maybe 7...

75555555!

[Mik]

Crap. There isn't.

Interesting that zero is pronounced 'soon'. I think our politicians are speaking Thai.

'Mr. President, when will we see results?'

'Soon'.

In various Chinese dialects, the number 8 often has a pronunciation that is closest to the “ba” sound.

[Mik]

@Axtremus hmm.. no ‘bwa’?

Yep, in Taiwan, Fathers day is August 8.

Month = 8
Day = 8

Pronounced: ba ba (or close to papa). So that is why is it fathers day on that date!!
