AN AMATUER'S GUIDE TO.........


Being a proud and current member of the Indian student community… I have put forth a list of the most common Hindi abuses and their meanings in various contexts…

Webster and Oxford…if you want to include the list below in your dictionaries…100,000,00 $ as loyalty and a lifetime supply of coffee….

Girls who consider themselves pure of heart……GO AWAY !!!!

And girls who are….well the girls who are part of the modern dynamic woman force…welcome : )

Any boys below the age of 15……unscrew your asses…NOW !!!!

Boys above 15….Welcome….and get acquainted with the guy thing….

I think I have made my disclaimers….time for me to proceed…A word of caution though….if possible avoid using them….and walk away from the place where these words are being used…I am not an angel myself but I agree with Mom who quotes an old Bengali saying “Chola poth aar bola r mook…kyo ferot nite pare naa” . It means the steps you take in life and the things that you say to another person can never be taken back……

Chamar /ch-a-maar/ n a dirty friend,a lowly person ( Chamaar kahin ka..dafa ho ja yahan se)

Chutiya /ch-oo-tie-yaa/ n a friend,a foolish friend ( tu to chutiya hai) ■chutiyon,chutiyapa

Harami /h-a-raa-mie/ n bastard, Gabbar Singh’s minions, your worst enemy, the person who has slept with your wife or daughter (eg. Main is harami ka khoon pi jaaonga), Bollywood villains. ■haramion,haramzade,haramkhor

Saale /s-aa-ley/ n. a friend (eg. Kaise ho saale ??) , someone who has dropped a catch in the game of cricket (eg. saale, tujhe catch pakadna bhi nahi aata ??) , someone who has rammed into your vehicle in the middle of the road, politicians, teachers against whom a hold a grudge ■saalon,saala

Suar /s-ue-a-r/ n. a friend (eg.Suar kahin ka !!), Gabbar Singh’s minions and henchmen, a child addressed affectionately by his parents in rural areas.

These are the five minor ones….as for the big boys….I would first employ a tab asking the users below 18 years of age to scoot….only then would I proceed….till then recognize the small trout….the big fish are elusive :): )
