Etymology
From corruption of ซ่าหริ่ม (sâa-rìm), the name of a Thai dessert of multicoloured noodles in sweetened coconut milk. First used by political activist Sombat Bun-ngam-a-nong during the 2010 Thai political protests to sarcastically refer to the political group led by Assistant Professor Tun Sitthisomwong, which called itself "Multicoloured Shirts" to express impartiality amongst the rivalling political groups, the Yellow Shirts and the Red Shirts, but, in fact, supported the Yellow Shirts and other groups sharing similar views: antidemocratic, ultraconservative, ultranationalist, ultraroyalist, and pro-military.[1][2]
