Hi! I'm trying to find the Cambodian/Khmer names of several districts.
Would someone mind checking these:

What does "undersell the big shots" mean? Context: "A Russian immigrant, she built the mart from a pawnshop into the largest furniture store in North America. Her strategy was to undersell the big shots, and she was a merciless negotiator.". Thanks 92.15.14.4 (talk) 21:03, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
"A Russian immigrant, she built the mart from a pawnshop into the largest discount furniture store in North America." No need now for the second sentence, as it is implied by 1) her running a discount store, 2) being the expected characteristics of a successful business person (I mean, you don't last long in business if you buy dear and sell cheap), and 3) probably being journalistic invention/imagination to pad things out. As I said, long winded. 92.15.1.33 (talk) 19:33, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
