Muay Thai not Moo Thai PLEASE!!

[dutts72]

Okay its finally driven me nuts! It cant be that hard to say it properly? Muay not Moo, just like its written M.U.A.Y, actually the funny thing is Moo in Thai means Pork so effectivley when you say Moo Thai you are really saying Thai Pork. We dont miss-pronounce Karate, Taekwondo or Kung Fu so why is it so hard for us Aussies to pronounce Muay? Its only the Thai word for Boxing so if we study Muay Thai we should be able to atleast say it. After 11 years of hearing this I cant take it anymore and actually when ever someone says it to me now I politely correct them...so please lets respect the art of MUAY THAI.

PEACE
IN SHALLA

Hey Dutts

I must agree with you on this but I haven't reach the point of exploding yet and unlikely to do so. Are you a convert too???

[supermario]

You can thank a bit of dialogue from Van Damme in in the movie Kickboxer for that gem. "I want you to teach me MOO Thai".

They actually say it lots of different ways in the movie, i think they made him say it that way to enforce the fact hes a "dumb" american.
