5. Thairish.

Now this maybe up for debate. In 2008 when signing in to our friends little commune type of bungalows after our honeymoonish type of an affair. I turned to me wife and said, ohh Irish or Thai for the registry book. she look at me as though is was daft and said, Thairish… Now me wife worked in a popular Irish bar at the time on the island where we live, so they started to use it a while later, it started to crop up years later in Bangkok Irish bars, social media blah blah. So I am totally taking credit for da missus on this one. And if any of yea, and I mean any of yea can disprove it… fair enough.

6. Thainese.

Ayye you have guessed it. No not a Thai Chinese couple… Thai Chinese fusion food, we used to serve it up in our little restaurant, when we had a… Thainese cook! I know I’m the funny guy, kill me last!
