Punjlish Simplfied

[third eye]

This one's not just for Punjabis but for all those who have faced 'Punjlish'. Knowledege of this helps interpret mant mysteries the english speaking man experiences in daily life while interacting with the large Punjabi Population in Delhi.


A is for Aiscreame.

B is for Backside, & it has nothing to do with your butt. It is an instruction to go to the rear of a building, or block, or shop or whatever.

C is for Cloney & it's not a process for replicating sheep, nor is its 1st name George. It is merely an area where people live eg 'Defence Cloney'.

D is for the proverbial 'Dangar da Puttar'.

E is for Expanditure, the spending of money.

F is for Fackade, & even though it sounds like a bad word it is actually just the front of a building (with backside being the back, of course).

G is for Gaddi, & the way a Punjabi can pilot his gaddi puts any F1 driver to shame (if the Grand Prix does come to Delhi there's no way Hamilton, Alonso or Kimi can overtake Balvinder, Jasvinder or Sukhvinder's taxi).

H is for 'Ho Jayega Ji', & the moment you hear that you have to be careful because you can be reasonably sure it's not going to happen.

I is for Intzaar, & to know more about it see P.

J is for Jutt, which every Punjabi seems to be.

K is for Khanna, Khurana, etc, the Punjabi equivalent of the Joneses eg 'Keeping up with the Khuranas ji'.

L is for Loin, the king of the jungle.

M is for 'Mrooti', the car that an entire generation of Punjabis were in love with.

N is for 'No Problem Ji.' To find out how that works see H.

O is for Oye, which can be surprise (Oyye!), a greeting (Oyy!), anger (Oyy!) or pain (Oy oy oy...).

P is for Punj Mint, & no matter how near (1 km) or far (100 km) a Punjabi is from you he always says he'll reach you in punj mint (5 minutes...).

Q is for Queue, a word completely untranslateable into Punjabi.

R is for Riks, & a Punjabi is always prepared to take 1 (risk), even if the odds are against him.

S is for Sweetie, Sunny, Simmi & Sonu, who seem to own half the cars in Delhi (the other half by their Pappas - like 'Sweetie de Pappa di Gaddi').

T is for the official bird of Punjab : Tandoori Chickun.

U is for when you lose your sex appeal & become 'Uncul-ji'.

V is for VIP phone numbers @ Rs. 15 lakh & counting.

W is for Whan, as in 'Whan are you coming, ji?'

X is for the many X-rated words that flow freely in Punjabi conversations.

Y is for 'You nonsanse', when anger replaces vocabulary in a shouting match.

Z is for Zindgi which every Punjabi knows how to live to the fullest.

Why Delhi, these can be applied in our very own Pakistani Punjab, infact Punjabi families anywhere in the world. Though I can also be "I for iskool" My personal favourites are in bold... though "Z for Zindagi" and "O for Oye" take the cake
