Punjabi ABC

This one's not just for Punjabis but for all those who have faced
'Punjlish'.

A is for Aiscreame

B is for Backside, and 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 and its not a process for replicating sheep, nor is its
first name George. It is merely an area where people live e.g.. 'Defence Cloney'.

D is for the proverbial 'Dangar da Puttar'.

E is for Expanditure, the spending of money

F is for Fackade, and 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, and 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', and 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, and 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
(e.g.'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, and 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, and a Punjabi is always prepared to take one
(risk), even if the odds are against him.

S is for Sweetie,Sunny, Simmi and 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 and become 'Uncul-ji'.

V is for VIP phone numbers @ Rs 15 lakh and 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.
