I am a writing a funny song for my friend's birthday. He is Vietnamese-American so I am trying to say the following phrases in Vietnamese where he will understand them. I've tried to look on the internet for the translation so let me know if what I have written is correct.

Thanks,
Reid

How are you / How's it going - Co khoe khong

I miss you so much - Toi nho ban lam

I am horny - dam tac ??? (this is supposed to be the humorous line). Or "yum yum"

If the correct way to say these is slang, I want to make sure he would understand them.

I believe that yum yum is Khmer for "suck suck"

Thanks Supernova - that wont work, lol! Do the other two phrases look right?

So I've been told that "Anh nho em" is a better way to say I miss you a lot?

"I miss you so much":
brothers--
older guy to younger guy: "anh nho em lam"....
younger guy to older guy: "em nho anh lam"

friendly (nice) friends--
"toi nho ban lam"

informal (cruder)/friends:
"tao nho may lam"

_______________-

"I'm horny"......"dam tac" sounds good, funny, perverted
.................."nham nho".....really perverted

I think the correct way of saying it is ... "oh..me so horny"
