For the Vocabulary Challenged

Define your lingo and establish it. Urban dictionary allows you to edit and add new words that you believe represent a meaning the world needs to know. Arjun Plakkat's parents will be thrilled to know that their son's well thought out name has now acquired a deeper meaning. Scrabble lovers will go hyper when they see the list of X words there.

Some words that I believe should be a part of main dictionary
  • cheetah- Dragging the huge bucket of water from the kitchen to the bathroom as the only source of water is the kitchen tap.
Origin: The motion of transporting the bucket reminds one of the smooth movements of the above mentioned cat

Eg: You have to cheetah, if you want to bathe today. / Help me cheetah.

  • kynki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi- Used to rationalize something difficult to explain;
Origin: From The title of a popular Hindi soap; means - at some point the MIL (mother in law) was a DIL (daughter in law)

Eg: Traffic jam again!
I guess kynki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi.

  • bulb - To be deceived by someone and hence experience deep disappintment. The whole incident is referred to being given the bulb.
Origin: Tamil language. Perhaps it started out to mean that one is plunged in gloom when the bulb goes outs.

Eg: When your girlfriend does not turn up for your date it means you have been given the bulb

Will keep updating this list as and when I remember
