A briefcase in Thai is a kapow James Bond.
And the reason it is, is because Kapow just means bag.
James Bond obviously means James Bond.
But there wasn't a word for briefcase in Thai before the James Bond movies were shown in Thailand.
They probably existed in Thailand, but I think it's quite a niche item that perhaps maybe like aristocrats might have had, but there wasn't a popular word for it.
And sort of general Thai people wouldn't have really had much of a need to have really known what a briefcase was prior to James Bond.
Probably rectangular black cases existed, but whether or not they were briefcases, before they had the category of briefcase.
Yep, and I did my due diligence and I did check with the aunties and I just said, do you still use Kapow James Bond for briefcase?
And they're like, oh, yes, I suppose we do.
Why do you want to know?
Oh, I'm on a podcast.
Oh, what's a podcast?
As many as that?
No way!
Yes.
Well, so it's bread and toast.
So bread is can on ban.
So pan comes is a bit like pan is in a pan of chocolate.
I think it's a loan word from French.
So there's pan for bread.
