ABC OF PUNJABIS

A is for Adjust, and a Punjabis will always ask you to adjust
whenever they want to push you around.

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

C is for Cloney, and its first name is not George, nor is it a
process for replicating sheep, It is an area where people live, e.g, "Dfence Cloney".

D is for Dhamaka, and Punjabis own this word.

E is for Expanditure, and believe me Punjabis are not scared of spending money - the latest cars, gadgets, marble floors, their ambitions are always expanding.

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 a car 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.

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

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

J is for Jindagi, and if there's one person who knows how to live life to the full, it's a
Punjabi.

K is for Khanna, Khurana, etc, the Punjabi equivalent of the
Johnses, i.e. keeping up with the Khuranas.

L is for Lovely, but never she is.

M is for ‘Mrooti’, the car that moved an
entire Punjabi generation.

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

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

P is for Paanch Minute, and no matter how near (1 km) or far a Punjabi is
from you (100Km), they usually says they'll reach you in paanch Minute.

Q is for Queue, for which there’s really no word in Punjabi.

R is for Riks, and a Punjabi is always prepared to take one, even if the odds are against them.

S is for Sweetie, Bunty, Pappu and Sonu, who seem to own half the cars in
Delhi.

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

U is for when U loses your sex appeal and become "Uncle".

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

W is for War – on the roads.

X is X-rated words, they flow freely in casual conversation on street.

Y is for ‘You nonsense’, anger replacing vocabulary in a shouting match.

Z is for Zigzag., for which you should see G, M and P.
