意思
Exaggerating someone's goodness.
文化背景
Thai fans are known for being some of the most dedicated in the world. 'Uay' is a core part of their identity; they will create 'Uay threads' on Twitter to showcase every good deed of their idol. On platforms like Pantip or Facebook, 'Uay' is often used as a weapon. If someone posts a positive review of a product, others might accuse them of being a 'Maa-Uay' (a hype-dog/shill) paid by the company. The shift from 'Uay-porn' (blessing) to 'Uay' (slang) shows how Thai youth are repurposing formal language to express intense emotions in a digital age.
Use it on Twitter
If you want to make Thai friends on Twitter, use 'อวย' when talking about their favorite artists.
Watch the sarcasm
Be careful; if you say 'อวย' to someone who is being serious, they might think you are calling them a liar.
