In the E-Learning and Digital Cultures Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) taught by the University of Edinburgh through Coursera, fraingers are strangers from around the globe who met on the various EDC MOOC digital learning spaces and through asynchronous posts discovered their affinity for learning and solidified their connections through synchronous tools like Google Hangouts to become digital friends.
We met as strangers in EDC MOOC, and our asynchronous posts on Facebook and Google Plus helped us become fraingers, or digital friend-strangers for life. Fraingers are strangers from around the world who became friends in a MOOC, and have never met in person.
A male of a non Thai background (farang) who pays (sin sod) to a Thai pootanas parents for they're daughters hand in marriage. These men are generally referred to as big malakas and many end up not only with a massive head ache for the duration of the marriage but also paying through the nose keeping the Thai pootana and her parents comfortable, if at some stage the parents require a new house or car, the Thai pootana may be told, not asked, to dump her current farang and find a new sin sod paying farang who will fund this.
Michael: That Thai pootanas parents are asking for an exorbitant amount of money so I can marry they're daughter. Paul: You want to be a sin sod paying farang? !!! Your a big malaka, with the big money they're asking you can plug a hell of a lot of different paid pootanas for many years with less headache. You marry that pootana and I don't want to know you.
