Thai celebrities like to drop English words into their Thai to sound smart. Sometimes their affectation can come unstuck.

At webboards, critical Thais who reckon they have superior English chastise them for mixing the languages, and point out flaws in the stars' English.

Previously we have read about actress Ploy Cherman, who declares she likes to 'relationship' with people.

Good on you dear, though using the noun as a verb in that manner sounds brutal, as if you are more likely to take to them with a heavy object.

Sometimes, a celebrity's English may be fine - it's just the journalists who fail to get it, with embarrassing results...

-

Model 'Mor Oiy' Jutharat Athakorn (pictured) may drop most of her clothes for the cameras, but that doesn’t mean she’s common. Oiy, who poses virtually nude for the latest Penthouse magazine, says there’s nothing wrong with a girl getting back to nature.

'I didn’t part my legs. That was one of my conditions. 'I am not sending out the message, ''Common Baby'' ', she told the Manager newspaper.

What? She means ‘C’mon baby’, but the journalist misunderstood. Such is the peril of trying to show off your English skills.

Like many members of the Thai celebrity set, Mor Oiy likes to drop English words into her Thai banter to sound smart. However, she would hate to be thought of as trashy, as hers is an 'artistic' profession.

She demanded a seven-figure sum for the shoot, so she can’t be cheap.

The model also insists that her Penthouse shoot – marking the Thai edition’s 15th anniversary- was tasteful, and not designed to bring out male readers’ jungle instincts.

She refused to show her nipples or her lower region ('Even if you held a gun to me, I wouldn’t do it'), and insisted on working with a photographer from an arty (as opposed to nude-shoot) background.

'I also refused to open my mouth in a provocative way, which is hard, as I look like this naturally. When I wake in the morning, I have a sultry mouth. I am BORN TO BE SEXY,' she says, again sprinkling about her English.

Okay, dear - we got it this time.

'But if you part your legs, there’s only one message you can send,' says Mor Oiy, declaring this will be her last revealing spread.
